I have a thinkpad 1412 with celeron 333 and neomagic magicmedia card.
I installed mandrake 7.0 on it.  The way I found the video card was in
running XF86Setup.  There is a listing for a neomagic video card and
for a laptop/lcd screen.  I selected those and made sure the video modes
were ordered as I desired, with the default I desired (800x600) and 
that was that.  Works.
