You don't need any of my previous patches. Just cvs update Xorg HEAD and
recompile the Savage driver from there. Actually the patches are
incompatible with the versions that I finally committed to CVS. So be
sure you don't mix them or you will get unpredictable behavior. From now
on I will keep the binary interfaces compatible though.

The new Savage driver lives in drm/shared-core and drm/linux-core. This
means it can only be compiled for Linux 2.6.x kernels. I'm not planning
a backport to 2.4.
