Hi Andreas,

Same problem here. I'm using the latest release and my whole system is up-to-date.

[musikolo@MyPC ~]$ pacman -Q xf86-video-savage
xf86-video-savage 2.3.6-4

Please, provide a solution to it as the only solution I have found it to use vesa driver instead.

Regards.

Try to rebuild with --disable-dri and get in touch with upstream!

Hello, Laurent, I just tried your fix package (i686), and it works but not so well:
It shows last state of frame buffer (stripped picture of syslinux's vesamenu for me) and does nothing, also it locks video mode ,so switching to console doesn't works but system answers.
How do I configure it to work with SavageIX-MV (ThinkPad T22)?
Currently DisableTile is True, AccelMethod is EXA, I tried turning on/off ShadowFB and HWCursor - does nothing.

@grinchfox

I invite you to test all options available for this chipset ('man savage' and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Savage)

You can also complete the upstream bugreport; dmesg/lscpi/Xorg.log/screenshot/... ouput are always useful for upstream developers.
