Not sure if this is of any help or not but I have had great results w/ Linux on an old Savage S3 w/ 4M. Knoppix automatically used the savage server. I presume you have already tried the cheat codes:
xmodule=s3
xmodule=savage
Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

i have tried both and neither worked...it tells me no suitable server is found for my card

Unfortunately my only suggestion is to boot with:
boot: vga=normal
Which of course is not what you really want to do. Does that card work with any other distros? Maybe a search on G4L will turn up something. gluck

I think you can get the latest s3 savage driver here. You have to download the tarball and compile the entire driver set and then copy the savage driver over. Can't say for sure it will work tho.
