Hi all,

3-4 months ago I was unable to move my laptop RH9->FC3 because of the
changeover from xfree86 to x.org; the new X didn't support my "old"
video chipset.  Today I re-visited the x.org site and followed links to
http://wiki.x.org/wiki/savage which, encouragingly, no longer says "no".
But the man page link on that page is a 404.  Does anyone know any
details?  Has some angel somewhere ported the old S3 Graphics drivers to
the new X?  Is anyone out there running core 3 on a S3
savage/prosavage/twister?  (and is X working? :-)

thanks!
