Tony,

I'm sorry if this is not relevent (I don't know what DGA is) but to
get the neomagic driver working on my Toshy Libretto (800x480) I did
the following:

Created a Mode Line for 800x480 format and put it in the Monitor
Section of my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. Then put that Mode as the
first mode in each of my Screen.Display sub-section. 

At the moment, it appears that the driver validates the Modes and
rejects the strange laptop ones (See your /var/log/XFree86.*.log)

I understand Egbert is working on providing a proper solution but for
now I have disabled the Validation by setting the following
undocumented option:
        Option "overideValidateMode"
in the Device section.

I take no responsibility if this destroys your laptops panel blah
blah......
