I'm not sure what you're saying is broken. I appear to be running
a Neomagic-specific server on 2.0.34 and the NM2160 chipset with
no problems:
XFCom_NeoMagic Version 2.0.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: October 7 1998
This server is being released under the XFCom program in cooperation
with XFree86 and the server's authors. This server is freely
available, and source code for this server will be included in the
next XFree86 release. Please report any problems to one of the
support e-mail addresses listed in the README included with this
server.

SVGA: server for SVGA graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0):
