Savage iX problems

[William Warren]

I am wondering where i can get a driver for a s3 savage ix agp 8 meg
chip...i have one but so far installing it has defied all attempts and
advice....this is the install.sh file i am using in place of the one in
the tarball which i have uploaded for inspection at:

[url]http://www.faithwalk.org/s3savage-1.0-13.tgz.gz[/url]

Any ideas or advice on getting this driver installed onto mandrake 9.1
would be highly appreciated.


p.s. this is mandrake 9.1 i am trying to get this driver to work in..if
somebody has a better driver let me know..:)

#! /bin/sh

#
# Simple script to install the S3 Savage server and tools.
#

#if [ ! -e /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86Setup ]; then
# echo You must have XFree86 installed.
# exit
#fi

if [ $EUID != "0" ]; then
echo You must be root to install the server and tools.
exit
fi

install -s -m 755 -o 0 -g 0 XF86_SVGA /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA
install -s -m 4755 -o 0 -g 0 s3switch /usr/X11R6/bin/s3switch
install -m 444 -o 0 -g 0 s3switch.1x /usr/X11R6/man/man1/s3switch.1x

rm -f /usr/X11R6/bin/X
ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA /usr/X11R6/bin/X
rm -f /etc/X11/X
ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA /etc/X11/X

echo Installation complete.

Knoppix has an execellent hardware (especially graphic card adapter)
detection, which runs completely off the CD. When it recognized your
graphic card check out /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 for details, you will probably
gets hints concerning the correct driver.

You can download the latest Knoppix version here:
