Hi there all Savage users! I've got problem with my Savage/IX card inside a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4270 laptop. I've built all the software required to launch DRI for a Savage card (that is, X.org, Mesa and the kernel DRM module) from CVS. My glxgears result peaks at 394 fps, which I consider not that bad. I've also managed to run Quake II @ 1024x768 with a stable framerate of 17 frames per second! So at the beginning, thanks to all Savage developers for bringing us to this point.
However, I've got a problem with DGA and I'm quite unsure whether this should already work or not. I haven't found anything on this topic on the net. Well, the problem is I can't use DGA correctly. It does launch, but the display I get is pretty far from what you can call a "usable environment" :-) This includes e.g. MPlayer and Starcraft with wine-20041019. When I start X, an entry "Loading extension XFREE86-DGA" appears in the logs and gives no errors. When I start MPlayer with the -vo dga option, the screen gets divided into several stripes of pixelised video. "Pixelised" means I get squares about 10 pixels wide (can't take any screenshots, I'm afraid). However, the picture isn't totally random, it resembles the correct output. But you cannot call it even a "satisfactory" one :-) Within MPlayer, keyboard shortcuts work (video navigation, exiting and all this stuff). Starcraft with wine-20041019 is a little bit more of a confusion. When I run wine as root, my display turns into an almost-random combination of pixels. Again, it _isn't_ totally random. I can e.g. see that rotating satellite dish in the main menu :-) (Well, actually it's more like a "coordinated motion of pixels that I sense is a satellite dish" ;-)) However, Starcraft gets my keyboard and mouse locked up - holding the POWER button is the only solution (heard of this _many_ times before). So, my question is: does any of you guys happen to have such problems or is it something with my specific configuration? Or maybe DGA support is still experimental? If so, take your time - I just wanna know whether I have anything to work with. Thanks in advance for any help and good luck to all of you out there!
