Support for Savage cards got broken in 12.10 but has now been fixed in Saucy (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1083032). The fix will be backported to 13.04, hopefully soon.

pradyot, can you please attach your Xorg.0.log from Fedora 18?
You probably ran into this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1083032 (fixed in Saucy) on 12.10. I guess you're using the vesa...

There is no nautilus process in a 12.04 unity session. Use some other process, say, unity.

I have seen this is horribly slow on faster computers as well. It must be a bug (or bad design) in the LXDE logout function.
I have actually seen this other places (savage/x86). I think this is a bug in the kernel agp driver or in the agp bridge. It tries to set a value (the default value, 1?) that the card does not say it...
It is sad that Linux is (has become?) so ressource-intensive. I guess Mac OS 9 would fly on this computer. Maybe you can try out something like Haiku on it?
Well, I would have loaded Mac OS 9 on...
str8bs, thanks for the testing! There is just one combination missing, the unpatched driver with xorg.conf like WithXorgConfMonitorAndScreenFBdevFalse. If that combination fails, but it works with...

Please test on (L)Ubuntu 12.04 and file a bug report, and add a link here. I am not sure how hwinfo gets this right but the X driver could possibly find out as well then. Please attach "hwinfo...
Sure, I think the patch makes sense, it just seems not so critical for users at the moment so I can't justify people spending precious time on it. But if someone could test it (with Option "UseFBDev"...
rsavage, you're absolutely correct. The SIGBUS bug was only with UseFBDev false, and it is true by default for powerpc. So if there is no reason to use UseFBDev false, my patch has not much practical...
OK, in that case the "accel" bug will most likely mask the bug I wanted to fix, and an xorg.conf and tweaking will be needed anyway. So let's leave it for now so we don't waste our time, but thanks a...

Late reply, just searching for unanswered savage posts :) The savage cards now have 3D support out-of-the-box, that's why that old post was for Breezy only. There was a kernel bug that just got fixed...
FYI, the S3 Savage cards are supported out-of-the-box in Ubuntu with the included savage xorg driver. There have been some issues though, so make sure you have all updates installed. For 3D...
Just found this (and this thread) on google, maybe it can help:

Oh, and you should strictly speaking use "sudo vipw -s" to edit that file. But it is simpler to use "sudo passwd root" to set a root password.
