For a current Fedora "rawhide" system, X crashes on start-up complaining about an aperture range error when the savage driver is used. The distribution related bug report is: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=426994 The tail of Xorg.0.log with debugging information is: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (EE) SAVAGE(0): Internal error: cound not map aperture range (7, Argument list too long). Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Server aborting ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This used to work up to Xorg 7.3. The crash occurs even for the latest git version.
No improvement for current Fedora "rawhide" development tree: xorg-x11-drv-savage-2.2.0-1.fc9 [new upstream version!] xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.901-10.20080314.fc9
Same problem here with recent savage, also on a ThinkPad T23. It used to work with Fedora 8's Xorg 1.3.0 + savage 2.1.3. The crash still occurs in a reduced setup using: Section "Module" Disable "dri" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "savage" Option "NoAnccel" "on" Option "AGPSize" "4" Option "DRI" "off" Option "DmaMode" "None" EndSection
For a current Fedora "rawhide" system, X ist still broken on IBM ThinkPad T23. Installed packages include: xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.901-22.20080415.fc9, xorg-x11-drv-savage-2.2.0-1.fc9, and kernel-2.6.25-1.fc9.
Severity is set to "blocker" but the bug itself has not been added to the Xorg 7.4 blocker bug 10101.
this should be fixed in the latest savage git tree please test.
The fix applied in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=426994 solves the issue for me [build: xorg-x11-drv-savage-2.2.0-2.fc9].
