I am considering to buy a laptop (Znote 3001,
http://www.zepto.no/znote3001.asp) which will (I hope) run FreeBSD and
X.  Thus,  I investigate the support for X-windows on this machine.  The
VIA PN133 chipset
(http://www.via.com.tw/en/ProSavage%20Chipsets/pn133.jsp) has an
integrated S3 Savage4 graphics core.  From the XFree86 driver support
status pages (http://www.xfree86.org/current/Status28.html#28) it seems
that the S3 Savage4 is supported:

3.3.6
    ...
    Support (accelerated) for the Savage3D, Savage3D/MV, Savage4, and
    Savage2000, is provided by the XF86_SVGA server with the s3_savage
    driver on some OSes (Linux, *BSD).

4.2.0:
    ...
    Support (accelerated) for the Savage3D, Savage3D/MV, Savage4,
    Savage2000, and SuperSavage, is provided by the "savage" driver.
    Support for the other S3 chipsets has not yet been ported.

But how is the support for this integrated variant?

Best regards,
P�l Sommerhein
