Hello:

Just bought a DynaBook Satellite 4320 notebook PC.  Having lots of
difficulty getting X and sound working.  The graphics chip is an S3 Savage
11.  The sound card is a Yamaha YMF-744B (this is the *2nd* time I've been
@#$(*& by the Yamaha folks.  I wish they'd get their heads out of their
collective asses and start recognizing Linux for the potentially HUGE
market it is.  Morons.) which is reported as unsupported by the sndconfig
utility.

Apparently there is a s3_savage driver available which might resolve my X
problems, but I haven't found any RPM's out there.  The reason I would
like to stick with an RPM solution is due to the copious amounts of
dependancies for X, along with the fact that I like keeping my RPM
database as accurate and as up-to-date as possible.

I've already tried downloading the XFree86-4.0.0 RPM's from the Rawhide
distribution, but with so many dependancies, I am afraid that I'll have to
upgrade half of my system to the less-than-stable Rawhide.  ;-(

If anyone has a similar notebook and has resolved this problems, please
let me know.  (A coworker is trying to install FreeBSD on his identical
model, and is having even more problems, so I guess I shouldn't feel *too*
bad.  :-) )

Thanks...
