According to Tim's site, there still isn't any DRI/OpenGL/Mesa support in the driver. Maybe us Via chipset purchasers can send enough email to Via to convince them there's a good market out there for 3d graphics on X. My only issue with this process was that XFree86 4.2 that was in unstable depended on a whole new glibc version, so the apt-get installed the new glibc and removed all of my development tools. X worked like a champ, there was no pain in configuring the savage driver, and it seemed that I could do 24 bit color at 1024x768 (and possibly higher, I didn't try.) I did have bios set to allocate 64MB of RAM to the ProSavageDDR chip.
Since then I've reinstalled from scratch to testing (Sarge) and am borrowing an ATI Radeon... Best of luck.
