Tectron1,
here is a link to a XF86Config that I found.
http://www.acota.de/docs/comp/acer/XF86Config
This works on my IBM t'pad 380XD- I can't recall the exact Neomagic model.
This gives basic 800x600 operation, the most this card can do.
In practice, with XFree running, at best you'll be able to play 384x288
size streams, with 80 to 90 % cpu.But you can go fullscreen when you've
got the cards acceleration happening under XFree.

I don't know why your swap is not being recognized because I just made a swap and rebooted and DSL picks it up and mounts it every time i boot.

My swap is being recognized but it remains unused for the most part. I have tapped into it a little by starting several programs at once and got it to about 89%.

Cool thanks, I have to find out what specific neo chip I have, mine will do 1024x768 at 16million collors.Its actually running 1024x768 in dsl right now. Can I edit the config file to say 1024x768 in all of the places where it says 800x600? Or will I zap my screen?

Im looking forward to the increase in video performance. :cool:

Edit:
After some searching I discoverd I have a NeoMagic Magicgraph 128xd (NM2160)

Hmm.. thats the card I'm "supposed" to have-
I always thought it could only do 1024x768 for external monitor.
Anyway, just see if that config file works for you as is, then see
if it will do better.
Hope it gets you further than no XFree at all.

Thats a good point, Something is better than nothing.I sometimes dont think of the obvious. lol

It may be that your lcd will only support 800x600.
