Hello,
The Savage MX / IX 1.1.27 driver supplied by Tim
Probo and in the FC2 build / distribution is the
"best" support for the Savage IX / MX "card" on the
IBM T2x laptop.
See: http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html
To get around the "scrolling lock-up" that occurs
with Linux and this video card - make the following
ADDITION to the xorg.conf (*) DEVICE statement for the
Savage card
<< Quote Start >>
Option "ShadowStatus"
Allows you to select the alternate "shadow" method of
reading the engine status register. This has
completely eliminated the infamous "scrolling hang"
bug in every instance thus far, at the cost of a
slight performance hit.
<< Quote End >>
Can this addition to the DEVICE statement become
the STANDARD, DISTRIBUTED, DEFAULT for this card to
avoid the scrolling problem?? To whom do I forward
this request?
Separately it seems xorg.conf file has superceded
XF86Config in Fedora.
Clive
