Seems you know a lot about specific graphics hardware problems and
thank you for the advice. Will forcing the card into PCI mode
automatically enable DRI or do I have to do additionally what Alex
suggested:<br>
<br>
"</font>(In the "Module" section)
<br>
Load "dri"
<br>
<br>
(...and at the end of the file...)
<br>
Section "dri"
<br>
Mode 0666
<br>
EndSection
"<br>
<br>
Also, without using software cursors, my card seems to throw up a
square block of static instead of a mouse pointer to do I need to also
add:<br>
<br>
option "HWcursor" "false"<br>
<br>
???<br>

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"
