You should not need to do this. It should be detected automatically.

Please send the code and GGI_DEBUG=255 logs.

Have you enabled the VESA driver ? I.e. are you running on a graphical
console ? Is the cursor a blinking _block_ ? If it is an underline, the
vesafb driver is not active. /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/vesa.txt
(hope I got that one right) shows how to do this.

AFAIK the NeoMagic will work with the VESAfb driver, so I assume it is a
software or configuration problem.
