I've done that, and it worked perfectly.

I have a 390 and i'm using the XFree 3.3.3.1 with the SVGA X-Server from Slink and it works. I set up X with XF86Setup (for that you need the VGA16 X-Server also). The NM2200 chipset is available, and when
i launch X it is correctly detected, with 2.5 Mb.
It is even specified in the doc from the XF86_SVGA Server that it supports NeoMagic 256AV.
I don't think that the differencies between 390 and 390E are that great that the servers provided by Slink won't work.
