No it doesn't break unrelated software :)

Did you just upgrade xserver-xorg-video-savage? or anything else?
The previous package (1:2.1.3-3) is available from
http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2007/09/17/debian/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-savage/

If downgrading only this one fixes the problem, then it would be good to
find out which exact commit broke things in the savage driver. Can you
do a git-bisect with the upstream git repository?

If not, could you at least try building the previous 2.1.3-3 with the
following patch applied:
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-video-savage.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=846a69f70d189c486448df269a512b8d42fab0c2;hp=53a2088c5590bb96ce9a7ad30d908c7ea1d54027

Do you really need useFBDev?
