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.

Good luck
