There is a problem with the DRM on your system.  make sure you have
have agpgart and the savage kernel module loaded before starting X. Run
lsmod before starting X to make sure both modules are loaded and run
dmesg or check your kernel log to make sure there were no errors.  Also
I notice you are using fedora.  Redhat uses some 2.6 subsystems in
their 2.4 kernels which seems to wreak havoc with stock DRM modules. 
frankly I'm surprised you were even able to compile the savage DRM. 
I've always ended up having to use a vanilla 2.4 kernel to get it to
work.
