You are right the Neomagic is not supported by Xfree86, but
is supported by Accelerated-X.  You can order it for a little
less than 3万円 I believe.  In Japan you can order it from a
company called ぷらっとホーム.  You can find their web page
at:  http://www.plathome.co.jp.

I have this server for my notebook and it works well compared to
using the Xfree86 VGA server with 16 colors.  Now I have 256 colors.
Not great, but much better than 16.
