Symptoms: * Starting X (startx, Xorg, etc) blanks screen and hangs--need to cycle power. * Keyboard will not switch to other VT * Can ping system and/or ssh in for a while, up to about 60 seconds, then it is dead. Once as quick as 18 seconds. * Happens with config from FC6t2 install and from Xorg -configure. * Reproducable * Option "NoAccel" makes driver work consistently. * rhbg works consistently (does it use NoAccel??) * Vesa driver works * Doing "sleep 30; reboot" on vt2 and then "startx" on vt1 did not reboot Other Info: * T20 has "S3 Savage IX8 8MB" LCD is 1024x768 * autodetected as "Savage/IX-MV" Strageness I've seen, but you can ignore: * Install fedora to a working driver that will consistently work twice. * Install to a dead driver that will consistently hang 5 or 6 times. * Seen FC5 install do this, once dead, once working. * Seen Ubuntu install die

several options: 1. try disabling the DRI or disabling DMA: Option "DmaMode" "NONE" or forcing PCI mode: Option "BusType" "PCI" 2. try the savage driver from git HEAD
Hi, sorry I took so long. Of the three options, disable DRI, disable DMA, force PCI, the last one, force PCI seems to work. I need to try it out more.
This also happens for Fedora Core 5 on a Thinkpad T20 As suggested, Option "BusType" "PCI", fixes the problem.
You might want to try agp again with the savage drm from git HEAD or a recent kernel.
Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
