I would recommend building your own package. Simply add
"fix-08-s3savage_ix+mx" to the list of PATCHFILES in
/usr/ports/x11/XFree86/Makefile, and make install. The laptop I have (IBM
T20, Savage IX) works with 1024x786 at 8 and 32bpp, but I get snow when
windows are moved around. Also there are some (expected) issues with mode
switching. I suspect these problems are caused by the non-use of VM86 VESA
instructions on FreeBSD. I'm currently working on a resolution to these
issues. If anyone else has their Savage IX working perfectly or knows a
workaround, I'd love to hear about it.
Anyway, here's the relavent part of my XF86Config:
