I downloaded the sources from ftp.xfree86.org und installed the patch
fix-08-s3savage_ix+mx. It compiled fine, but the result didn't work. Now  
I used the FreeBSD Port, added the patch in the Makefile, and made a make
install. Hui..it works now with a resolution of 1024x768. The only
difference I can see is that the port uses in addition another patch
(fix-01-r128) which I  didn't use.
