Initial Comment:
running ubuntu/feisty with an S3-savage gfx-card and the "savage" drivers, i get only a black screen when rendering is turned on.

glxgears work just fine (@~160fps)

gfx-card:
"S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266]"

Message:
finally got hold on a savage-card again (this time its a twister)

after some initial struggles which magically went away after playing
around with the xorg.conf to get a decent resolution (1024x768 instead of
600x400).

tried with 0.92.1 on debian/testing(squeeze) running 2.6.30 and the
"savage" xorg-video-driver

i guess savage cards are a bit sparse these days, so i guess i can close
this report.

oops, forgot to say: "Gem 0.90 compiled: Feb 16 2007" (the standard feisty
package)
