I am considering an Acer Nuovo laptop for FreeBSD use, as the 800x600
display and 6x CD-ROM loop quite appealing.

Has anyone had any success with the NeoMagic128 display chip used in
the Acer Nuovo?  Is this supported with a reasonable color depth at
800x600 screen resolution by default, or must an XInside extension
be purchased?  How's the performance either way?
