Hi Everybody! I have the above notebook (woody installed) with the following vga-device:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86C270-294 Savage/MX-/IX (rev 11) I have the following problem: X seems to work fine, but it has problems playing media files, like .rm, .avi. I tried rvplayer (from rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs2_rpm) with several .rm-files, also aviplay (version 0.53) with serveral .avi-files. After a few minutes (not more than 20m) X freezes for 1 or 2 seconds, an the sound is repeated during this time periodically. After that first freeze, the next comes only a few seconds later. Even with no sound (kernel modules not loaded) still the same. I tried: kernel 2.2.19, 2.4.7, 2.4.8, XFree 3.3.6 and XFree 4.1.0, savage_drv.o version 1.1.16 and 1.1.19 (from http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html) I also have set Section "Device" BoardName "AutoDetected" Driver "savage" Identifier "Device[0]" Option "dpms" Option "NoAccel" Option "shadowFB" Option "ShadowStatus" "on" Option "SWCursor" VendorName "AutoDetected" EndSection in my XF86Config-4 I tried the options in various combinations, still the same problem. Also exporting SAL_DO_NOT_USE_INVERT50=true did not help. I think, due to the fact that this problem is not obvious, it might be a bug in savage_drv.o. But I still hope that someone here can help me, perhaps I overlooked something. Thanks Andreas
