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

[Tormod Volden]

Maarten, by the way, I do intend to package a snapshot for Debian soon,
so you can just sync it to Saucy later (I don't think the single Ubuntu
patch for PCI instead of AGP is needed any longer). But before that, it
would simplify SRU if the above patch has been wetted in Saucy.

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.
