I haven't heard of the ProSavage8. If you find the PCI id (do an /sbin/lspci -v and note the location of the video card entry, then do an /sbin/lspci -vn and look in the same location for the "Class" entry) you could compare it with the list at http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html in the "Supported Chipsets" section. If it is listed then you could download the latest Savage driver and move it into /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ If it isn't listed there then you could try emailing the maintainer of that driver (note that he maintains it as a public service and is a pretty busy person, so maybe wait and see if there's other responses from this list first). You could also just try that latest driver and see if it works.
