I added it, but it doesn't appear to have helped. Setting X to use the
fbdev driver works as expected, but isn't as purty once loaded :-(

Here's the relevant section of XF86Config:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "neomagic"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "NeoMagic MagicMedia 256AV (laptop/notebook)"
VideoRam 2560
Option "OverlayMem" "829440"
Option "UseFBDev" "1"
Option "externDisp" ""
Option "internDisp" ""
EndSection

However, the following now appears in XFree86.0.log:
