From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20021203 Description of problem: On my IBM T20 thinkpad laptop (which has a Savage IX I think) the first time I booted Phoebe everything worked perfectly! The second time I booted I saw very wierd colors and stuff that should have been removed from the memory of the gfx-card (like the bootup logo of the laptop). I fixed this by visiting the official website of the savage driver and replacing it with the one that is being shipping with RedHat 8.0.94. I have tried to fix the problem by using redhat-config-xfree86. This tool, however, tried to set the driver to "vesa" in 800x600 which results in a VERY ugly resolution for this laptop. I have tried every possible depth and resolution with the savage driver.. all gave the same problem. I tried turning of the "Expand to full screen" in the BIOS of the laptop and tried switching something about PCI and AGP.. still I got the same results. I booted Windows to test if the card was broken but Windows displayed the graphics correctly.. and then.. I decided to try to overwrite the savage driver shipped with RedHat 8.0.94 with the official one on the website of the driver.. I also replaced the XF86Config file with one that was available on a website about my laptop. This works BUT I sometimes saw the default-X-mouse-cursor AND the new RedHat 8.0.94 cursor at the same. I turned of a option about HWCursor or something like that in the XF86Config file and the problem dissapeared.. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: have described everything in the descriptionfield Actual Results: Wierd colors; I can see the stuff that was visible during the booting of the laptop (the IBM-logo and stuff like that). The mousecursor is visible but then like a brush (so it keeps painting the mousecursor and does not remove the old one). Some parts of the desktop becomes visible (like icons and text) but then dissapears.. Sort : the savage driver is very broken :) Expected Results: The same result as the default savage driver with HWCursor set to off. Additional info:
