Ik kreeg van Helmut (Savage News) een mailtje met de vraag of ik een link kon posten naar de Savage Drivers Petition:
This petition has been put up to ask S3 to get their act together and give us some decent drivers. So if you're really annoyed about how the Savage3D and Savage4 drivers are slow / unstable / generally unsatisfactory, just sign your name here. The petition will be available to be signed for a period of 2 weeks starting 13/9/99 (ending 27/9/99), so sign now and encourage any SavageX owning friends to do so too. [break] Dit in verband met de driver problemen, waarvan hier een opsomming wordt gegeven: [/break] - Lack of Performance ICD for the Savage3D
- Instability of drivers
- No non-beta drivers available except the original drivers
- Latest drivers are not available through official channels (S3 website), but only through end-users trawling the Web and FTP sites
- No major bug fixes being addressed, only small bug fixes (see 6.13.27 driver release notes
- Driver performance frequently fluctuates up and down between versions
- Release notes rarely released with drivers
- No reference BIOSes available at S3 site
- Poor 3DNow! support
- Many unsupported features e.g. Anisotropic filtering, 24-bit Z-buffer, Stencil-buffer and Anti-Aliasing
- 32-bit mode laggy and slow
- No write-combining on AMD CPUs
- Buggy AGP Sidebanding support
- No 3D support under Linux via MESA
Toen je medelijden en ga die petitie hier ondertekenen 
.
