I would be interested in getting this included in the Debian's X
packages. It's nice to be able to play tuxracer and chromium on
my other computer (built-in Savage). It's the first opensource
driver for the savage that supposedly provides hardware
acclerated 3D.

That is old. The latest is 1.1.27t, which is the one included
afaik in the sid X. The standalone drivers (source and binary)
can be downloaded from:

IRC I once just copied over the binary into the proper xserver
module directory.
