Simply using EXA (and a 1.14 fix backported to 1.13) worked for me. Maybe more is broken in 1.14. What exactly happens in your case? Please be more specific than "does not work".
There is no schedule for such bug fixes, most developers do not care about hardware which is more than a few years old. I will look closer into it sometime in the next weeks, although no guarantees given. There seems to be more continued use of the savage driver than I thought :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-savage in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1083032 Title: Video driver not working for Savage chipset Status in X.Org X server: Confirmed Status in “xserver-xorg-video-savage” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When installing 12.10 on our Thinkpad T22 laptops the display does not work. 12.04 works fine. xserver-xorg-video-s3 is version 1:0.6.5-0ubuntu1 xserver-xorg-video-savage is version 1:2.3.6-0ubuntu1 I don't know if these are the packages involved but they are the ones that I suspect may be involved. This T22 model (and many other thinkpads from that era) use the "S3 Savage IX8" chipsets.
