I would be interested in getting this included in the Debian's X packages. It's nice to be able to play tuxracer and chromium on my other computer (built-in Savage). It's the first opensource driver for the savage that supposedly provides hardware acclerated 3D. > What version of the driver are you trying?

The standalone drivers (source and binary) can be downloaded from: http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html IRC I once just copied over the binary into the proper xserver module directory. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
