9.0-RC2 - xf86-video-savage driver - whole system freeze

After upgrading from 8.2-Release to 9.0-RC2 on my T23 there's a problem
related to xf86-video-savage driver. Every time I start X, the
environment looks fine at the first sight. In my case Openbox starts
through xinit(1) and it runs. But after starting an application
just like Openbox context-menu or something through autostart.sh, the
whole system freezes. There's no other option than hard reset at this
moment and it doesn't leave anything like errorlogs. Vesa-driver works
smoothly.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

xf86-video-savage-2.3.2
