I don't know Savage at all, but here's a suggestion that might tell
you more information.

Try glxinfo again, but set LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose and you should get a
lot more info. Xorg.log seemed to say the DRI was enabled. Although...

For me, this says:

(II) GLX: Initialized DRI GL provider for screen 0

Do you have proper permissions for the device nodes in /dev/dri?
Possibly Savage doesn't provide direct rendering because GLcore is the
software fallback.

Wait, sorry, now I think I found it:

(EE) SAVAGE(0): [agp] AGP not available
(WW) SAVAGE(0): [agp] AGP failed to initialize -- falling back to PCI mode.
(WW) SAVAGE(0): [agp] Make sure you have the agpgart kernel module loaded.

The Savage S3 is an AGP card, right? See this page:
