I am extremly confused on whats going on with this stupid savage card.
at the DRI website they say they got a driver for the savage that will do DRI but its a beta.
My question is how do i get this off CVS and compile it and use it?
Or what some peoples experience with this driver is?
and also i understand that there is a driver for 4.2 of xfree but well id like to stay with 4.3
thanks
justin

In general, in CVS, you need to do this:
cvs -d:pserver:*login name*@*site to login to*:/cvsroot/*thingy name* login

And then input password if any is given to you by the site (or hit enter if not).

Then

cvs -z3 -d:-d:pserver:*login name*@*site to login to*:/cvsroot/*thingy name* co *thingy to copy*

It'll make a folder by that name in whatever directory you happened to be in, and then you just cd *dirname*, and either ./configure;make;make install;ldconfig; or ./autogen.sh;./configure;make;make install; or if it's a binary driver, look for an automatic installer in the folder.

Wish I could help more. Specify the card model next time.
