I can sort of confirm this bug.

I have got an S3 Inc. 86C380 [ProSavageDDR K4M266] (rev 02), which
according to Xorg.0.log is a "Twister PN133", Chip: id 8d01.

On a Dapper install, the savage driver was not used, but the vesa driver
was used instead. Now, with the upgrade to xorg 7.1.1 in edgy, the
slowness of vesa became unbearable, so I started using the savage driver
-which, BTWis also not loaded for my laptop when using Knot3, still vesa
is used.

Now when I started using the savage driver, the maximum resolution I
could use was 800x600, which on a 1024x768 laptop screen is not the
best, I have to say. All 1024x768 modes in Xorg.o.log were dropped
because of them being out of range

I got the driver to work at a 1024x768 resolution by explicitly
specifying hsync and vrefresh in xorg.conf:

VertRefresh  55-61
HorizSync    31.5-80

What are your hsync and vrefresh ranges?

What do the "Monitor" and "Device" sections of your xorg.conf look like?
