If there was no drivers directory then the XFree servers
package wasn't installed.  You need to install the RPM
"XFree86-server-4.1.0-17mdk" (or whatever version is in the
beta you have... the above is from the 8.1 released version.
Installing that will create the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers
directory and populate it with the server modules... one of
which is the savage_drv.o, but it's not the one that works.
The one that works is the one I pointed you at.

My 8.1 install also did not install that server package,
probably because it just used the frame buffer device during
the install and didn't find a server that would work with the
card.  Putting that driver in that directory should make it work.

Also please note that if I sent you my XF86Config-4 file, it
was from RedHat, and they have the xfs font server on a
different port... so you have to edit it and change it from

	  FontPath "unix/:7100"
to

  	  FontPath "unix/:-1"

I also found that on Mandrake, you also have to:

       # rm /etc/X11/X
       # ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86
