hey everyone, I am a newbie at this. I have
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.60GHz Memory: 512MB RAM Hard Disk: 160 GB Display Devices --------------- Card name: S3 Graphics Inc. Savage4 Manufacturer: S3 Graphics Inc.

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. ===== http://www.physics.wustl.edu/~alford/thinkpad/T23_F17.html 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. ============ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-savage/+bug/1083032/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
