For the most part RH9 has TONS of bug fixes over RH8.  There are a few
regressions like the attempt to move to the native Savage driver rather
than use the generic VESA driver, which happens to break some ProSavage
motherboards.  Unfortunately mistakes do happen on occasion.

This appears to be related to the issue.  If I had the hardware in front
of me to debug I would probably be able to figure out a workaround.  My
friend has this type of motherboard, I'll try to test it myself during
early May.
