this driver was written for xfree 4.2.x and mesa 3.x. it needs extensive work to be made to compile against 4.3.0 and mesa 4/5.x. For those interested in messing with it, you can download the savage-1_0_0 branch from DRI CVS. Also for what it's worth, VIA/S3 also released a full featured open source driver for the CLE266/Unichrome/castlerock. it has the same issues as the savage driver. http://www.linux.org.uk/~alan/CLE266.zip Alex --- "Mike A.
