It doesn't let me use the savage driver

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-driver-all

After installing and rebooting, it would force on me 1600x1200 at 60 Hz (which is not the recommended resolution for this LG 19″ CRT). So, I use Gnome’s screen res utility to tell it to go to 1280x1024 (and that utility would insist that my monitor can do that resolution only at 86 Hz, while it can do it at 85 Hz in reality — I thought, nothing to worry about, as this might just be a rounding error in their calculation). Instead of going at that requested resolution though, it just reused the same resolution under VESA. Reloading the Gnome screen res utility to go back to either 75Hz or SXGA won’t do anything, Ubuntu now seems to be stuck in VESA and in that 1600x1200 resolution at 60Hz in particular. So, I have no other option but to manually edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to simply change the driver from “vesa” to “savage”. This is the right driver for my graphics card and it’s being working fine with it since forever and ever. Hah, good luck with Ubuntu 6.06! When using the “savage” driver it says that “no screens found” and X11 doesn’t load (yes, the module exists in /usr/lib/xorg/drivers/). It only works with Vesa now and it won’t accept anything else anymore! What's up with that?
