Yep. You need to upgrade. The 2.6.8 Kernel doesn't support this Video Card. 
I am using the 2.6.17-2 kernel now. Works fine. 

I had tried the 2.4 Sarge Kernel. (don't remember the exact version number 
though). The 2.4 kernel used to work fine. Maybe this explains why everything 
was working fine previously. 
But the 2.6.8 kernel (The unstable kernel on the Sarge CD) doesn't support 
the "savage" module.
