If you are reasonably knowledgable about Linux, try this site
(http://www.mnsinc.com/js/Neomagic.html). It is very conprehensive but
if you are newbie like me, it can get a bit confusing.

Anyone running a notebook with a neomagic chip in it?
Please give me some hints/directions as I just can't
seem to be able to run it.

Thanks

I installed Linux 5.0 on an IBM ThinkPad 600 which uses a NeoMagic video chip.
I used the XBF X-server from RedHat. Works like a champ. It installs on
XFree86 3.3.2. I had other problems installing Linux on this ThinkPad but the
X-server installed without any problems.
