I just did the above steps, and got savage_drv.o and savage_dri.o, but when i issued
"make -f Makefile.linux LINUXDIR=/usr/src/linux"
in
"xc/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel"
i only got mga, ati, etc. drivers, no savage. do i have to patch my kernel, or Makefile.linux, or something else?
