(Get the code!)
For those not getting direct rendering, or other issues releated to this chipset, you need to understand that you can't do 3D with 24 bit color, there's not enough video ram for this. You have to change the default depth to 16.
To repeat something else, the default install of feisty is working fine with a proper xorg.conf (posted above and elsewhere) unless you do a warm reboot without powering the system off so that is something that might be fixed by newer DRM modules.
So the most critical things I see here is an improper xorg configuration by default for this particular savage chip and the need for the newer DRM modules to fix (maybe) some other issues.
