It does.

The problem was the following one:

/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2166.nptl/kernel/drivers/char/drm/savage.o:
kernel-module version mismatch
        /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2166.nptl/kernel/drivers/char/drm/savage.o
was compiled for kernel version 2.4.22-1.2166.nptlcustom
        while this kernel is version 2.4.22-1.2166.nptl.
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2166.nptl/kernel/drivers/char/drm/savage.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2166.nptl/kernel/drivers/char/drm/savage.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2166.nptl/kernel/drivers/char/drm/savage.o: insmod
savage failed

So, a insmod -f
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2166.nptl/kernel/drivers/char/drm/savage.o

did the trick.

It is, anyway, almost as slow as before. glxgears reports something near
250 fps, while it did 180 before updating to the new driver. It's a
athlon xp 1700 with 384mb of ddr ram.

It seems that keyboard mappings are changed in some way. xmodmap -pke
retured nothing for keycode 211, which is the correct key for slash,
interrogation and degree sign. However, keycode 123 (?) apeeared with
correct stuff.
doing a xmodmap -e "keycode = 211 slash question degree questiondown"
fixed the problem, but don't know it this survives a logout.
