If you choose the vesa driver you may have reduced functionality. There
was another workaround in the link in bug 1083032:
"Section "Device"
Identifier "mydearsavage"
Option "DisableTile"
EndSection
If anyone can help out with the testing I described there it would be
great.
Michael, I have the same card as you! On a Presario 700.

Title:
acer aspire 1300 (S3 ProSavage) dsiplays distorted image after
upgrading from Ubutn 12.04 to Ubuntu 12.10
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-savage” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I have a laptop Acer Aspire 1300, running Lubuntu since 10.x. Some
years, already. Everything worked fine. The problem came after
upgrading from Lubuntu 12.04 (in which display still worked correctly)
to 12.10. After that, the laptop boots up correctly, but when it boots
the display manager (lightdm) then the screen distorts completely.
Only the upper thrid is more or less correctly displayed.
The graphics card is an S3 VT8363A ProSavage KN 133 (AGP4X VGA
controller), as reported by lspci.
Modifying xorg.conf does not help.
Changing the display manager (from lightdm to lxdm) does not help, as
well.
I tried with "sudo modprobe savage" (since savage does not appear with
"lsmod"), stopping and starting the display manager. But that did not
work. Also, it appears that the module is not kept after rebooting.
Any ideas?
