Laptops :: video issues

I am attemping to install dsl 3.01 on the laptop listed below.
--------------------------------------------------------
CPU: AMD K6-2 366Mhz. processor
RAM: 96MB PC66 SDRAM
(32MB native, 64MB added via PC66 SO-DIMM)
Video: NeoMagic MagicGraph128XD 2MB graphics chipset
Display: 12.1" LCD Display
Sound: ES1869 Plug and Play AudioDrive (WDM)
w/ JBL-Pro stereo speakers
Modem: Compaq Presario 56K-DF (LT Winmodem)
4.5GB UDMA hard-disk, 24x CD-ROM, standard 3.5" floppy
--------------------------------------------------------

The os installs with little or no difficulty.

However, I am unable to get a working X config. all I seem to be able to get is a smear of colored lines. what makes this even more annoying is all the pretty penguin logos show up just fine during install.

I understand there may be a "cheat code" to use during install.

anyone know what it is?

code is
