Don't use XFree86 3.3.6, use 4.1.0 instead. Xconfigurator --preferxf4 Also there are updated packages available for testing with new Savage drivers at: ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/7.2 Does this solve the problem?
XFree86 4.1.0-15 released as erratum for RHL 7.2 solves all known Savage related problems. If you still experience a problem after upgrading to the new release, please reopen this bug report, and attach your XF86Config-4 and X server log files using the file attachment link below.
