I am on Sid with linux-source-2.6.17 and the savage DRM code is
included.
When I run "make menuconfig" I find it under

CONFIG_DRM_SAVAGE:
Choose this option if you have a Savage3D/4/SuperSavage/Pro/Twister
chipset. If M is selected the module will be called savage.
You can check if this option is available at all for your version of the
kernel:
$ grep -i savage /boot/config-$(uname -r)
# CONFIG_DRM_SAVAGE is not set
# CONFIG_I2C_PROSAVAGE is not set
# CONFIG_I2C_SAVAGE4 is not set
# CONFIG_FB_SAVAGE is not set
Otherwise you might have to upgrade to a newer kernel.
Thanks for your reply. I decided to upgrade my kernel since it was old
anyway. I used make-kpkg on the source tree that comes with the debian
package linux-source-2.6.16 (My apt-get can't find a 2.6.17 version),
which seemed to work. However, my resulting kernel was not bootable. I
installed initrd-tools and ran:
mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16_10.00 2.6.16
That made an initrd image. Then when I booted into it, I got many pages
of the error that /lib/modules/2.6.16/modules.dep was not found, and a
kernel panic. Only there is a modules.dep file. Here is a listing of the
directory:
deepblue:/lib/modules/2.6.16# ls -l

Googling doesn't help. I'm afraid I don't know what to do next.
Thanks again for your valuable help.
