I tested XF 4.3.99.902 and xorg 6.7 [0-0.1.5mdk] with my T23 ( S3 Inc.
SuperSavage IX/C SDR rev 5).
Both savage drivers seems to be at the same level 1.1.27a but I met some video
problems when running powerpoint with CodeWeaver CrossOffice (wine) with xorg
only. [black box appears from the corner screen to the cursor position when
i insert text into a powerpoint text box, for example]
This problem used to exist with XF 4.2, 4.3 but disappeared with XF
4.3.99.902. It is still there with xorg. On the other hand, latest dri
snapshot (http://www.freedesktop.org/~dri/snapshots/) works well with xorg
only. And when I installed this dri savage driver snapshot on XF 4.4, the
problem described above appears again.
I am not an X expert at all and cannot help more, however i think that if the
issue is not there in XF 4.4, it can be removed from xorg.
Hopefully, somebody can help.
