I have had excellent mileage from Tim Roberts' drivers
( http://www.probo.com/timr/savagemx.html ). I am currently using his XFree
4.0.1 driver. The S3 Savage IX8+ is detected as S3 Savage IX-MV (PCI ID 8C12).
I am able to get 1400x1050 @ 75 Hz on both the LCD panel and external monitors.

The server does hang occasionally and the only remedy is to do a hard reboot.
