Connor, first, thanks a lot for caring for these old drivers. A lot of people are still using their old laptops and run the latest Linux distributions on them. Thanks especially for the hint you gave earlier in this thread: "EXA callbacks that use the devPrivate.ptr of a pixmap." I am trying to keep the savage driver working, but I don't have the capacity to follow xorg development in detail. Recently an EXA problem came up for which I had no clue. Reading your hint was enough to guide me in the right direction and now I believe I have fixed it with a one-liner change. > Xorg works but when I press CTRL+ALT+F1 I get a screen with an unusable > screen.

Pander, does console switching work with the vesa driver? It doesn't on my savage card, so I wonder if it is a more general non-KMS problem. You say it works with the older SiS driver though, was that also on the latest xserver?
