Maybe.  I never used it.  The glibc 2.1 savage server did not work for me.

(WW)  OsInitColors:  /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt:756:  Syntax error:

Fatal server error:
No matching cards found!

I am the no-xvesa rgb.txt with the savage server (libc5) in BL2.  Maybe we 
need a later rgb.txt or a later libX11 for these precompiled servers.  I 
got the latest version.  Look at Xorg for an older version.

The precompiled Xfbdev and Xvesa work.  Steven's uclibc-Xvesa uses less 
memory. i810 does not work well with svgalib either, or in DOS (plain VGA 
only), which is why I always just put in another card.

Another list member got i810 working with the i810 server a few years ago.
