Sorry, for now the S3 savage driver is available only for Linux, since
it needs some os-specific functions to call the Vesa BIOS of the card,
which was not ported to OpenBSD yet.

In general you can run a Linux XF86 server with a few tweaks, but I
can't tell if, in this particular case, the Linux Vesa BIOS code will
work under Linux emulation. See compat_linux(8) for details on setting
up Linux emulation emulation in the case you want to try it, and let
us know if it works.
