I have a system based on the Via CLE266 / ProSavage chipset. Does the
ProSavage work with the Savage graphics driver?
And if so what is the recomended way to add it to the enumeration process?
(I.E. such that patching the OS won’t screw it up again.)
I can’t say if the Savage graphics driver will work or not as we
haven’t had that hardware here to try.
If you want to try the Savage driver to see, you will need to add
an entry for your chipset in the graphics enumerator:
Edit /etc/system/enum/devices/graphics
Search for the Savage driver and add an entry with your devices
PCI device ID.
For example:
device(pci, ven=$(PCI_VEND_S3), dev=8a22) # S3 Savage 3D
device(pci, ven=$(PCI_VEND_S3), dev=8a25) # Integrated Savage/Via
device(pci, ven=$(PCI_VEND_S3), dev=XXXX) # ProSavage
cfgfile(fname, /etc/system/config/graphics-traplist)
echo(devgt-iographics -dldevg-s3_savage.so -I$(index) “-d0x$(ven),0x$(dev)”, $(fname))
echo(devgt-iographics -dldevg-vesabios.so -I$(index) “-d0x$(ven),0x$(dev)”, $(fname))
where XXXX is your PCI device ID. (which can be found by using the ‘pci’
command)

I’d like to see the Savage S8 supported. That’s built into
various Via chipsets, and many midrange machines use it,
but QNX won’t support it. QNX supports the Savage S4 and
the Savage 2000, but not the S8.
S3 is a bit more active now, and they’re trying to get
developers to develop for their new DeltaChrome line of
graphics parts. They’re even giving away free boards
to qualified developers. I’m sure QNX would qualify.

No good. I tried forcing the Savage driver once, and
all I got was funny patterns on the screen.
