The MTRR problem is just a warning, nothing to be worried about. The
drm_unlock error is the result of a different problem. See below.

Yes, I tried savagefb briefly and gave up after the first lockup. It's
not playing nice with the Xorg driver, or the Xorg driver is not playing
nice with savagefb. Anyway, I don't have time to look into this right
now.

The real problem is that your 2D driver is incompatible with the new
kernel module. See your Xorg.0.log, it reports a version mismatch of the
kernel module (though message is misleading because it contains a wrong
version number :-/ ). You need a 2D driver version 2.0.0 or newer. See
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/S3Savage for the big DRI-related changes
in the Savage driver you may have missed and
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building for updated building
instructions.
