If you have VSA2 firmware then the geode driver ought to work. If you
have VSA1 firmware you'll need to resurrect the cyrix driver which as the
VSA firmware is very sensitive to the order of vga emulated writes and
the newer Xorg ordering confuses it might be quite hairy - or if you don't
need acceleration use the vesa driver and have a quieter life.
