Have you tried the generic SVGA driver? E.g. in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, 
change this:

> Section "Device"
>         Identifier  "Videocard0"
>         Driver      "savage"

To this:

 Section "Device"
         Identifier  "Videocard0"
         Driver      "svga"

That should at least let you get X running, and then you can find a 
specific driver for your card at your leisure.
