Patch fixing savagefb driver typo/regression in linux-3.0.0

From: John Stanley <hidden>

   I have an old T22 Thinkpad with integrated Savage/IX-MV video. As of 
linux-3.0, the video is non-functional; the PC either hard hangs 
immediately or has totally garbled video, and then hard hangs, as soon 
as I attempt to edit a file or cat a file with more than a screen-full 
of text. The foregoing details are actually not important any more as in 
looking at the code changes I discovered a typo in
linux-3.0.0/drivers/video/savage/savagefb.h and have applied the 
attached patch to fix the issue.

PLEASE NOTE:
   I realize that the patch does not quite adhere to linux kernel patch 
coding-style conventions (in particular, spaces around logical 
operators, and lines not exceeding 80 chars), but I have simply changed an
'||' to an '&&' -- and NOT attempted to resolve pre-existing 
coding-style violations.

thanks much,
John

P.S. Many, many thanks for lifting the 800x600 resolution limit! I've 
been using a patch/hack to bump the limit to 1024x768 for an very long 
time...
