The savagefb command line arguments uses modedb standard calls (at least this is what the linux framebuffer devices site say, I have not test it), so I guess you should try with a line like this video=savagefb:800x600-32 or video=savage:800x600-32, etc. I'm affraid that the savage framebuffer isn't documented in the kernel sources (at least in 2.4.20), but with other cards (SiS cards i.e.) the modedb arguments works.
