I'm not familiar with the Savage graphic card, but here you can find some information that should help you to fix your problem:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto

Most probably this is just a question of selecting the right setting in the xorg.conf file.
In case you still have problems, please paste here the content of your xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log files.
If you need I can give you detailed instructions on how to do this.
