Greetings,
i got this T23 with
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. SuperSavage IX/C SDR (rev 05)
I was happily using the laptop on natty and oneiric with kernels prior to
3.X. since upgrades to oneiric and precise graphic is scrambled and
unusable. logs show a missing xaa which obviously is outdated, declared dead
and unsupported since Xorg 1.13.
[ 57.373] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
[ 58.362] (EE) SAVAGE: Failed to load module "xaa" (module does not
exist, 0)

According to http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTA0NDg
xaa acceleration is no longer supported in the X server. I don't know
if the nv driver supports any other types of acceleration, but if it does
you should be able to tell it to use another type in xorg.conf.
(source: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2012-March/106458.html)
What is the supposed workaround? I see two possibilities:
* make savage driver no longer asks for xaa, using nv instead
* offer a separate xaa module for present ubuntu on outdated chips (not
reasonable)
* something else
Please enlight me.
all the best,
kardan
