Hey Tormod,

I'm setting up an old Acer Aspire 1300 with the S3 Savage chip in it. I added your PPA to my sources.list to test and installed your version of the Xorg server + drivers. I rebooted single user, ran Xorg -configure and I edited xorg.conf to only contain an entry for the savage driver so as to avoid accidental "it works!" while you're unconsciously running vesa or something else.

I specified only Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" and not DisableTile. I can confirm the graphics work. Without an Xorg.conf, graphics won't work and are gibberish. I'm not familiar with these cards experience wise, but it seems slow, draging windows is jerky and scrolling too.

If you want me to check a few things, let me know!
