The Neomagic Chipset needs a special X-Server. Get it from here:

        <A HREF="ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/X/XBF/xneomag/xneomag.rpm";><A HREF="ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/X/XBF/xneomag/xneomag.rpm</A">ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/X/XBF/xneomag/xneomag.rpm</A</A>>

Do the following steps:

rpm -Uh xneomag.rpm
ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XBF_NeoMagic /var/X11R6/bin/X
cp /usr/doc/packages/xneomag/XF86Config.neomagic /etc/XF86Config

Have a look at the configuration file and enjoy!

Bye,
        LenZ
