Bug Description
I have a laptop Acer Aspire 1300, running Lubuntu since 10.x. Some years, already. Everything worked fine. The problem came after upgrading from Lubuntu 12.04 (in which display still worked correctly) to 12.10. After that, the laptop boots up correctly, but when it boots the display manager (lightdm) then the screen distorts completely. Only the upper thrid is more or less correctly displayed.
The graphics card is an S3 VT8363A ProSavage KN 133 (AGP4X VGA controller), as reported by lspci.
Modifying xorg.conf does not help.
Changing the display manager (from lightdm to lxdm) does not help, as well.
I tried with "sudo modprobe savage" (since savage does not appear with "lsmod"), stopping and starting the display manager. But that did not work. Also, it appears that the module is not kept after rebooting.
Any ideas?
A Savage user! I knew there was one :) Can you please run "apport-collect #1098661" so I get all logs and details?
