1.1.27t has one bug I'm aware of.  It's a problem on T23 laptops 
with 24bit depth reported in bugzilla.  I'm tracking it right 
now.

I can make a patch to bring current CVS to 1.1.27t without losing 
fixes currently in CVS if you like.  Last I spoke with Tim, he 
said he'd be busy for a while and wouldn't be working on the 
savage stuff for a bit, although I don't know if he's back at it 
again now or not.

Let me know if you'd prefer Tim do the patch himself, or if you'd 
like me to do it.  I can whip one up in fairly short order if 
desired.  Then there's just that one bug to squash.
