Hi Tormod,
I have tried a new build of the savage package supposedly including your
changes (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/34527), but it doesn't solve my
problem. I'm still getting my screen scrambled, just multi-color lines
everywhere. I have tried a configuration forcing to use EXA module as
well as a brand new xorg.conf file generated through X -configure
command.
Please, let me know if there anything I can you to help you find the
problem.
Best regards,
Carlos.

Bug description:
When installing 12.10 on our Thinkpad T22 laptops the display does not work. 12.04 works fine.
xserver-xorg-video-s3 is version 1:0.6.5-0ubuntu1
xserver-xorg-video-savage is version 1:2.3.6-0ubuntu1
I don't know if these are the packages involved but they are the ones that I suspect may be involved.
This T22 model (and many other thinkpads from that era) use the "S3 Savage IX8" chipsets.
Using the info from this link makes the display work.

Xorg :1 -configure
# ignore Configuration Failed message
cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file: uncomment Option "DisableTile" in the Section "Device" that contains the Savage driver options.
