Feature Request Into Kernel - Savage DRM to be added as a selectable DRM module in the kernel

[C M]

Hi, i would like to request the savage drm listed here;
--> http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/S3Savage

I was hopeing that it could be added as a selectable DRM module in the
kernel such as the ati rage and such are. This is a tested driver,
proven working for most, making it selectable in the kernel would be
very much appreciated and a great advancment for all savage users. The
savage users have for long been without opengl, now the time comes
when it can happen, i was sincerley hoping that this could be added
into the kernel. i was hoping it will become part in the list of
selectable DRM in the gentoo kernel, vanilla, etc.. whatever it is
easier to include it in. I would appericate a responce on your
thoughts, and im here for testing if needed.

Thanks

Its on my list of things.. just not as high up as some other things..
it needs a full code review by a few people which means a lot of time,
it may also need to be cleaned up to kernel coding standards....

I might submit a patch for review soon...

Dave.
