Ya po-russki ponimayu, no plokho govoryu ili pishu.
(I understand Russian, but speak or write it poorly).
I think you can understand my English.  Your English is not bad.
Vot obyasnenie po-angliski.  U menya takzhe Neomagic video.

I have a laptop with Neomagic video which does not work with Xvesa, the 
X server that comes with BL (Basiclinux).

Using Basiclinux 'links' (if you are online with BL), from the start page, 
click on the link to the BL site, go to the bottom of the page, 'Further 
information and support', 'How to replace Xvesa with a standard X server'. 
You need to add (pkg) a standard X server from Slackware (probably 
xsvga.tgz for the neomagic) and no-xvesa.tgz.

The instructions are very detailed and easy to understand.  There is a lot 
of useful information there.  You can also search the BL archives (at the 
BL site, Basiclinux Support, bottom of page, Search the Archives) for 
answers to common problems like this.
