Hi, a week ago installed Dapper, and when it finished, I stared at a
blank screen. Later I found out that X was crashing the video adapter.
Not even soft reboot would recover it, only power cycling. I learned
this is a rare problem, solved with the following option in xorg.conf:
Option "BusType" "PCI"
Now it works, but I still have Oopses in the savage kernel module, and
the occassional freeze (as it's a total freeze, I cannot know what
causes it, but I'd bet on the savage). Maybe those symptoms are related.
Versions of packages xserver-xorg-driver-savage depends on:
ii libc6 2.3.6-0ubuntu17 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an
ii xserver-xorg-core 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu9 X.Org X server -- core server
xserver-xorg-driver-savage recommends no packages.
