Seems to be a problem with savage s3 drivers. See my question for a brief on the theme. No solution, at the date. askubuntu.com/questions/271426/ubuntu-doesnt-recognize-screen – Baffone001 Mar 23 '13 at 13:00

Here is the complete solution for the S3 Savage MX-MV
At the time of display problem: Ctrl + Alt + F1 (or F2, or F3 etc.). During your session, your screen becomes a console. Login with your user name and password:
It starts by generating its xorg.conf.new which does not exist in Xubuntu 12.04:
sudo X-configure
Copy to /etc/X11:
sudo cp /home/$USER/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Install wim editor:
sudo apt-get install vim
Afterwards, edit the xorg.conf file using vim:
sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf
To insert text, press i, then Esc when done. To delete an entire line, dd (that is, the d key twice). To quit without saving exchange, q. To save changes: wq.
Correct the following in:
Section "Device"
[...]
Identifier "Card0"
# Comment out or delete the following line
# Driver "modesetting"
# Add the following line
Driver "vesa"
EndSection
Restart BOOT: Ctrl + Alt + Del.

I'm trying to use your solution. But I get stuck at the first step: Ctrl + Alt + F1 -> when I press it, I get a blue pattern printer on the whole screen. Is there any other way I could access the "terminal window" ? Thanks matej – user230942 Jan 2 '14 at 12:07
