(I had to fiddle with XF86Config a bit, but I don't feel like I've done my job unless I've had to fiddle that knob.) The thing is, I think RedHat signed the NDA and wrote the driver -- replete with the bits to get the accelleration to work. This driver is a bit slow in comparison, I'm told. It would just be neat to get the accelleration stuff working too. (RedHat says on their web page they'll be releasing the source to XFree86 if and when NeoMagic allows them to.)
