Thank you Joachim, that worked for me (I have an IBM Thinkpad T23, 2647-4MG).
I've run the following commands:

tar xjvf drm.tar.bz2
cd drm/linux-core/
make DRM_MODULES="savage"
sudo mv /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/drivers/char/drm/savage.ko /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/drivers/char/drm/savage.ko.old
sudo mv /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/drivers/char/drm/drm.ko /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/drivers/char/drm/drm.ko.old
sudo cp savage.ko /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/drivers/char/drm/savage.ko
sudo cp drm.ko /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/drivers/char/drm/drm.ko
sudo depmod -a

After rebooting, "glxinfo | grep direct" reports "direct rendering: Yes".

@catchit: I hope this helps.
