3.2. Known limitations in the Savage family support (s3_savage driver)

The Savage family driver for the Savage3D and the Savage4 was donated to XFree86 by S3 very closely before the release of XFree86-3.3.5. The driver violates a few design principles and goals, but since there is massive demand for it, we decided to include it in XFree86-3.3.5. For 3.3.6 some rewrites have been done, there is fallback code for non-BIOS modes.
