Do you want the good news or bad news first ? ;o) hmmm.... The bad news: There's no way to get this support with Redhat linux out of the box today. The good news: Within the last few months the vendor open sourced a 3D driver for all savage chipsets[1]. These are being worked on by the XFree guys now. I see there's one report[2] of someone getting them working with XFree4.2. But you'll have to do a fair bit to reproduce his results. If you're feeling adventurous you can try to sort through compiling your own version of XFree but that isn't for the faint of heart. Otherwise you'll have to wait with the rest of us for the gurus to make it accessible enough for everyday use. If you absolutely must see Tux scooting down the hill today you could demo a commercial X server from Xig[3] (80 to 120 bucks) although trying to figure out which product of theirs to buy is a mind bender in itself.
