See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1083032 . The easiest
workaround for now is to use DisableTile. This disables most of what
was left of hardware acceleration, but still might have some advantage
(i.e. modesetting, outputs) over the vesa driver.

Section "Device"
  Identifier "mypoorsavage"
  Option "DisableTile"
EndSection

I intend to investigate this further when I find more time. I've been
thinking there might be some initialization hook that isn't called
from the server any longer.
