It has been over 3 weeks since I sent the source files for the S3 Savage
video driver to this mailing list, and at this point I have received
nothing indicating that someone is planning to put them into the source
repository nor have I seen any changes to the S3Savage source files in
the repository.


Sorry for the delay, I don't think anything was meant by it. I suspect
Axel has been too busy or forgot to add it. Drivers aren't exactly my
forte, but if nothing happens over the weekend I'll add this to the
repository myself.


Does this project have any interest in this driver?  I am well aware
that the Savage video chips are not "state of the art";  however, there
are people that have computers with these chips.  When I posted a
message about the driver on the general Haiku mailing list in April
asking if anyone was interested in testing the driver, four replies were
quickly received asking to test it;  and after testing it, they were
very satisfied with it.  It should also be noted that this driver is a
great improvement over the BeSavage drivers available on bebits.com.


I think all drivers are good, and personally feel Haiku will find
great use on older computers, on which these chips may be more common.

So please don't take the silence as anything negative towards your driver :)
