This certainly looks wrong in your original log file:
(II) SAVAGE(0): Configured Monitor: Using hsync value of 0.00 kHz
(II) SAVAGE(0): Configured Monitor: Using vrefresh value of 0.00 Hz

It would be nice if you could test Jaunty and provide an Xorg.0.log. Unfortunately there are reports that the current savage driver in Jaunty is broken, but you can try a patched version from my PPA https://launchpad.net/~tormodvolden/+archive

If you test a Jaunty live CD, I suggest you boot in "failsafe graphics" mode (vesa driver) and then installs the patched driver, then change xorg.conf to use savage and restart X (log out and in again). If you now get a black screen, it should be possible to switch to a console with ctrl-alt-F1, log in and copy the Xorg.0.log, switch to vesa again in xorg.conf and restart X again with "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart".
