Hi Michael,
I have an Acer Extensa laptop with the neomagic card. I got x windows
working with just the svga server at 1024 x 768 in 8 bit mode and 800 x
600 in
16 bit mode. If you visit the redhat site there is meant to be support
for
the neomagic card. Try also the linux on laptop homepage at
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/
also for more info on the neomagic card try
http://www.mnsinc.com/js/Neomagic.html
hope this helps
Johann
