Hi ( i?m spanish native so excuse my english )

Well i have the same problem with Suse 8.2 and the reason is in the driver
for the video S3 prosavage DDR, I now two solutions:
1. Fast:
Download the driver from: http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html and 
a) make a backup copy of the existing savage driver in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/

b) unpack the archive and copy the driver (savage_drv.o) to 
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/

c)  run sax2 to configure XFree ( you must download the driver for your
Xfree version ) 
d) sometime you must open /etc/X11/XF86Config
find the "Device" section and add the following line 
Option "UseBIOS" "no"
With this solution you don?t  have 3D acceleration

2. Best: I now for sure that there is better patch for Red hat 7.2, you
can find it in the same web of the other driver ( 
http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html)
it?s only work with xfree 4.2.0 but some people say it?s work perfect.
With this solution you will have 3D ACELLERATION

So that?s all i hope this could help you.

atte.
MMM
