The ProSavage8 S3 Graphics gfxchip described there, which has no KMS support and 
thus requires a user-space driver, fits into the following description from Stretch:

zcat /usr/share/doc/linux-image-amd64/NNEWS.Debian.gz:

linux-latest (76) unstable; urgency=medium

   * From Linux 4.8, several changes have been made in the kernel
     configuration to 'harden' the system, i.e. to mitigate security bugs.
     Some changes may cause legitimate applications to fail, and can be
     reverted by run-time configuration:
     - On most architectures, the /dev/mem device can no longer be used to
       access devices that also have a kernel driver.  This breaks dosemu
       and some old user-space graphics drivers.  To allow this, set the
       kernel parameter: iomem=relaxed

IOW, it is suggested that iomem=relaxed may need to be included on kernel 
cmdline for the old user-space xserver-xorg-video-savage driver to work with 
your gfxchip in Stretch.
