Bug#768958: ProSavage8 KM266/KL266 only support 800x600 with xserver-xorg-video-savage
Laptop Mitac 8375 ProSavage8 KM266/KL266 mobile AMD Athlon(tm) XP-M 2400+ (1,8 GHz max.) 1280 MB RAM Desktop LXDE There seem to be some problems in Xorg, seems that all current distributions are affected. Upgrade of the driver to 2.3.8 [*] (installed in Jessie: 2.3.7) restores resolution 1024x768, but scrolling and dragging of windows remain extremely slow. Fiddling with xorg.conf.d (E.g. "DisableTile" "on") may yield some "interesting" effects, but no further improvement. Regards Ludwig [*] Cooking recipe: Install Jessie packages - build-essential - xserver-xorg-dev Download http://www.x.org/archive/individual/driver/xf86-video-savage-2.3.8.tar.gz Do the usual things (tar -xzvf xf86*, cd xf86*, ./configure, make, make install) Remove /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/savage_drv.so, and replace it by the new savage_drv.so (somewhere in /usr/local) or set an appropriate link. Restart the display manager or reboot.
Bug#768958: ProSavage8 KM266/KL266 only support 800x600 with xserver-xorg-video-savage
Dear Maintainer, Same problem with a LifeBook C1020. Solved this way : - remove xserver-xorg-video-savage (BTW is it DRI2 compatible?) - take care of some meta packages (task-*, *-video-all) - comment/remove 'blacklist savagefb' from /etc/modprobe.d/fbdev-blacklist.conf - use fbdev as the device driver for X (xorg.conf) savagefb is useful in that case. Could you please consider make some change for xserver-xorg-video-all: - remove xserver-xorg-video-savage from Depends - add it to Recommends No more breaking then if the *-video-savage package is removed.

Hello It seems there is a patch available in Ubuntu. Is it possible to use this path also here? Kind regards -- Mechtilde Stehmann ## PGP encryption welcome ## Key-ID 0x141AAD7F signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Hi, On Mon, 10 Nov 2014 12:42:49 +0100 Yvan Masson yvan.mas...@openmailbox.org wrote: With a fresh installation of Jessie on a Packard Bell EasyNote E1260W with graphic card ProSavage8 KM266/KL266, the Savage driver allows a maximum resolution of 800x600, and everything displayed is really ugly (looks like there is no anti-aliasing). Same issue here after upgrading a Vobis Uniwill N341C2 from Wheezy to Jessie. The Savage Twister KN133 worked with 1024x768 under Wheezy, with xserver-xorg-core 2:1.16.2.901-1 and xserver-xorg-video-savage 1:2.3.7-2+b2 it is limited to 800x600. The Xorg.log from Wheezy shows an additional Driver mode Modeline with 1024x768. I have tried various xserver versions, the last working was 1.14. There are some changes related to modeline handling in the last Xorg releases so I took a closer look to relevant lines in savage_driver.c. It seems that xf86CVTMode() should not be called with reduced blanking set to TRUE. Rebuilding xserver-xorg-video-savage with the attached xf86CVTMode patch gives me the 1024x768 resolution back (see Xorg.0.log_jessie_patch). Would be nice to get this fix released with Jessie.

Dear maintainers, I don't know if it can help, but I installed (and updated) Lubuntu 14.04 on this same computer : Although the bootsplash is also 800x600 and ugly, lightm and lxsession are displayed with full resolution (1024x768), automatically.
