Hi, i checked today http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ExaStatus There is written that the savage driver should support exa. But when i use Option "AccelMethod" "exa" in my xorg.conf the log file says that it is not used :-( Any information? Something else: (it maybe more related to the xorg mailing list but...) Will there be support for adding or removing screens (monitors) while the XServer is running. I dont want to restart X (and modify the xorg.conf) always just when i want to use an additional xinerama external monitor. Regards Manfred |

What version of xorg are you using. I justed committed savage exa support a couple weeks ago.

In the mean time there are hacks to do it with mergedfb and xrandr. I had a savage mergedfb patch a while back, but I never finished it up and committed it. Alex > > Regards Manfred > > > |

I justed committed savage exa > support a couple weeks ago. It's only available in xorg cvs. I am using Xorg 7.020 (It's the Debian Sid Number). So basicly Xorg 7. How do i get just the savage driver? manfred@tuxpad:~$ dpkg -l | grep savage ii xserver-xorg-video-savage 2.0.2.3-4 X.Org X server -- Savage display driver manfred@tuxpad:~$ dpkg -l | grep xorg ii xorg 7.0.20 X.Org X Window System --- BTW. I figured out the problem of the black screen. It is related to a combination of the last dri-common and savage snapshot. By using just the savage snapshot stand alone everything works. But now since binary snaps are frozen i do not use them anymore. So just for your information. |
