RH have written an X server for the NeoMagic, which I hope to
package shortly.
Until then, the way to do it is:
* Run XF86Setup and set everything up as normal
* Get XBF-neomagic-glibc-1_1_0-1_i386.tgz from
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/XBF/
* Copy the XBF_NeoMagic from the tgz to /usr/bin/X11R6/
* Alter /etc/X11/XServers to point to this file
* Replace:
* Section "Monitor" ... EndSection
* Section "Device" ... EndSection
* Section "Screen" ... EndSection
in /etc/X11/XF86Config with the ones in XF86Config.neomagic
from the tgz
Then startx and all should work :-)

I'm not afraid to die. I just don't want to be there when it happens.
