[Bug 1083032] Re: Video driver not working for Savage chipset

> Could you create a new upstream release for savage so I can pull this
to saucy?

Maarten, I will also try to sort out some other issues before I make a
new upstream release. Distros can make git snapshots at any point. I
would like you to commit these patches to Saucy because I want to have
them SRU'ed. I can imagine that SRU'ing a new version is almost
impossible, for bureaucratic reason (I mean, never mind that the current
driver is pretty much useless).

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.
