DRI on S3 VT8375 chipsets is tricky and poorly supported. There is a
thread on the Gentoo forums here which may illuminate things:

You could try forcing the card into PCI mode in your xorg config:

Section "Device"
    Identifier          "S3 ProSavage8"
    Driver              "savage"
    Option "AGPSize"    "16"
    Option "AGPMode"    "4"
    Option "DmaType"    "AGP"
    Option "DmaMode"    "None"
    Option "BusType"    "PCI"
EndSection
