I found your problem. I already stumbled over your odd video RAM size
before (set to 32767 in your xorg.conf), but didn't think it was a
problem. Your video RAM size is not a multiple of 4KB (the page size),
therefore the DRM refuses to create a map of that size. You should
either set it to 32768 or leave it to the auto-detection. You'll also
notice that all the MTRR splitting messages will disappear from your
Xorg.0.log, because 32MB can be covered by a single MTRR.

I'll add something to the 2D driver that catches non-page-aligned video
RAM sizes.

That's ok. Vesa framebuffer should work too, but the new SavageFB is
problematic at the moment.

Without shadow status you may get lockups with 3D applications once DRI
is enabled. Could you try shadow status again with DRI enabled? My guess
is that it will work correctly then.
