:
:xserver-neomagic is available as a Debian package
:(dists/frozen/non-free/binary-i386/x11/xserver-neomagic_1.1.0-1-1.deb).
However this is not the most recent version :) (although I can't see any
difference between XBF and XFCom servers on my Omnibook 3000)
Works well for me, a little slow to startup, and takes a nice chunk of
RAM, but that's to be expected :)
I thought Neomagic wouldn't release specs so XFree couldn't incorporate
support for the cards?
