[branden@deadbeast.net: [millerjr@u.washington.edu: a few legacy X servers]]
Jake, take a look at this page for the definitive ``what S3 cards are
supported in 4.0.1?'' answer.
http://www.xfree86.org/4.0.1/Status27.html
Perhaps there has been recent work in CVS to support your card that
hasn't been reflected in this document. If it is important to you, check
through this page: http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/cvs-commit/ (if it
is only mildly important to you, ask google and altavista to index that
page, and do some searches for "s3 savage xfree86 4.0*" in a few days or
a week).

I've posted pointers to the XF 4.0.1 Status document in many places, but
apparently this person managed to miss all of them...

Hi Branden,
The other day you wrote the following to debian devel:
"The XFree86 version 3 packages will stick around for a while. On i386,
to provide the libc5-compat X libraries and to provide a few legacy X
servers, and on alpha to provide a few legacy servers. "
Is an S3 Savage 4 Pro+ 32MB AGP what you call "legacy", or does XF 4.0x
now support my card?
I've been struggling to understand what is, or is not (there are rarely
updates anymore), going on with XF. Would you please give me some kind of
understanding about the current status of my not-so-legacy S3 Savage 4
32MB AGP card with respect to XF 4.0x?
p.s.1. I've already asked on the lists, no reply.
p.s.2. Congrats on the job and packaging xf4.
Thanks,
Jake
