I have a 390 with the same chipset. I installed Debian 2.1.9 last week, and
i had no problem with configuring X: just run XF86Setup, with the SVGA
X-Server and Neomagic chipset are listed. I used the 'advanced ' options so
that i could specify the right amount of memory.
If you still hav problems i can send you my XF86Config file: i'm working in
800x600x16bpp, and i can go up to 24 bpp (my LCD doesn't support 1024x768)
