Hello All,

I would like to find out how I can submit a bug. I believe I have found one and cannot find a solution to the problem anywhere.
The problem I have is with the savage module and that changing to a full screen in any app (mostly games etc.) will crash x completely and then it will restart and I am back to the login screen.

At first I thought it was a defect with my hardware but I have tried my hard drive in identical system and they all have this issue.

I have a T23 with a S3 Inc. SuperSavage IX/C SDR (rev 05) controller and it uses the savage madule. I am using Fedora 7 with all the latest updates applied.

Now my question is realy how do I go about properly filling this as a bug? Do I even need to or will it not help and what information do you need to be able to even look at this at all.

I have found others that say this has only started happening since DRI was implimented...so I am thinking it might have something to do with that. Also I am not the only one who as observed this. See here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=2847853#post2847853
Is there any way to gather mor information on why this is happeneing? At the moment all I can see is X crash and then it restarting and then the logon screen.

I would like to help with this issue any way I can.

Thanks
