I was one of the people asking about this same card last summer (look in
the list archives for those threads). Although I got a couple of responses
back then saying it worked, I never got an actual recipe for making it
work. I don't recall everything I tried back then (using X 4.2.x), but I
finally gave up and bought an nVidia card. I ended up wondering if "Savage
IX" actually described several different cards, some of which worked
trivially easily but others of which simply did not work at all.
Oh well ... I do still have the old Savage IX card laying around somewhere.
If you get advice that works, I'd love to see it.
