Here's the Device section from mine, in a 600E; it works quite well.

Section "Device"
    Option     "OverlayMem"             "879200"
    #Option         "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps"
    Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver      "neomagic"
    VendorName  "Neomagic Corporation"
    BoardName   "NM2200 [MagicGraph 256AV]"
    BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

You have to run it 16bit too:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device     "Card0"
    Monitor    "LCD"
    DefaultDepth 16
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     1
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     4
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     8
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     15
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     16
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

As far as framebuffer is concerned, I just have "vga = 791" in /etc/lilo.conf.
