Savage DRI memory requirements compared with MS Windows 2000

Hi.

According to my /var/log/Xorg.log, 8844 kB of Videoram is needed for 3D at a
resolution of 1400x1050 at 16 bpp. My IBM Thinkpad T21 has an onboard "S3 Inc.
86C270-294 Savage/IX-MV" which only contains 8192kB of video ram, so I can't
get 3D at this resolution/colour-depth. MS Windows 2000, however, seems to
handle direct rendering OK at this setting (in fact, I even get the option to
run at 24-bit colour).

Is the larger memory requirement a by-product of Xorg's DRI implementation, or
is there something I can do (as an end-user) to reduce the memory requirement?
Apologies if this mail seems like I'm trolling - it's just an honest question.

Thanks, Jaime
