savage misses outdated xaa
Greetings,
i got this T23 with
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. SuperSavage IX/C SDR (rev 05)
I was happily using the laptop on natty and oneiric with kernels prior to
3.X. since upgrades to oneiric and precise graphic is scrambled and
unusable. logs show a missing xaa which obviously is outdated, declared dead and unsupported since Xorg 1.13.
[ 57.373] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
[ 58.362] (EE) SAVAGE: Failed to load module "xaa" (module does not exist, 0)
[ 58.370] (EE) SAVAGE(0): DRI isn't enabled
[ 58.938] (II) XKB: reuse xkmfile /var/lib/xkb/server-76D2B5A359D34EEB9BFAEB1701EF70014DF39715.xkm
What is the supposed workaround? I see two possibilities:
* make savage driver no longer asks for xaa, using nv instead
* offer a separate xaa module for present ubuntu on outdated chips (not
reasonable)
* something else
Please enlight me.
