The neomagic video chipset is not supported by XFree86 or MetroX, due to
NeoMagic's policy of not allowing public disclosure of thair hardware's
technical specifications. I believe Xi Graphics sells a commercial X
server that supports the neomagic hardware; last I heard, it was selling
for about $200.
