OK---I finally got around to this.  I installed CVsup ( easy, since it's one 
of the packages in Suse Yast ) then I configured it for savage-2-0-0 ).  Ok, 
now I'm lost.   

I am running X86Config 4.3.0.1-21

Can I just compile the driver that's in

file:/usr/src/dri/xc/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/savage   

and then add it in where my savage.o driver is now. 

How do I configure/make this driver ?

Thanks !!!
:D
