Check out http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html, and download the
newer 1.1.23t driver. (This also fixes the bug with the OpenOffice
installer.) Note that certain screensavers (blaster from xscreensaver
being the prime culprit) can still cause the Savage chip to hang -
apparently a workaround is still needed for clipping bresenham lines
that extend outside screen bounds.
