Hi,
   i created a slightly modified savage driver that i would like you to test.
Please do the following steps:

cd /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers
mv savage_drv.o savage_drv.o.backup
wget http://people.ubuntulinux.org/~fabbione/savage_drv.o

Comment the Option "UseBios" "no" in the config file.
stop X and start X again.

Let me know if it works.

Basically I added a check to so that UseBios defaults to no if there is a
ProSavage-DDR
card, and it can still be overridden via the config file.

If you want this fix included into warty you need to tell me the results asap.
Otherwise it will be for the next release.
