_==> So you can update your web page 
(http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html) that contains :_

    *DRI/OpenGL/Mesa support.*

    There is currently no DRI driver for the Savages for XFree86 4.x,
    which means that OpenGL applications are entirely simulated in software
     There was work going on at one time to add this support, by the
    same fellow who did the UtahGLX driver for XFree86 3.3.6, but his
    e-mail address no longer responds.
