Well, I upgraded to Xorg 7 using the "modular Xorg" howto on the gentoo-wiki
forums becuase I was told that this version would have support for DRI and
GLX on the savage chipset (for my thinkpad).
Well, installed and everything seems to work except GLX/DRI.
if I run glxinfo, i get:

wait event returned -16
So its looking good (definatly better then before). DRI is enabled, but I am
getting a hard PC lockup (for about a second, with glxinfo saying "wait event
returned -16").
Also happens when trying to run glxgears. I get a lockup for a few seconds,
followed by the same error "wait event returned -16"
does anyone know what the problem might be?I feel as if I am tantilisingly
close to it, but I need some help as well =)
Has anyone successfully got DRI working? (running on thinkpad T23 with 512ram,
gentoo kernel 2.6.14-gentoo-r5 with a "S3 Inc. SuperSavage IX/C SDR (rev 05)"
graphics card)
Cheers
