+<sect>Supported Hardware
+<p>
+This is an unaccelerated driver for the SGI newport cards (a.k.a. XL) as found
+in the SGI Indy and Indigo2. Both the 8bit and 24bit versions are tested and
+working.
+
+<sect>Features
+<p>
+<itemize>
+  <item>Support for 8 and 24 bit pixel depths
+  <item>Hardware cursor support to reduce flicker
+</itemize>
+
+<sect>Notes
+<p>
+<itemize>
+  <item>X -configure does not generate a XF86Config file.
+  <item>There's only a 1280x1024 mode.
+</itemize>
+
+
+<sect>Configuration
+<p>
+The driver auto-detects all device information necessary to
+initialize the card on the Indy. The only lines you need in the "Device"
+section of your XF86Config file are:
+<verb>
+       Section "Device"
+           Identifier "SGI newport"
+           Driver     "newport"
+       EndSection
+</verb>
+Indigo2 users have to use the BusID option as documented below.
+
+However, if you have problems with auto-detection, you can specify:
+<itemize>
+  <item>bitplanes - number of physical bitplanes (8 or 24)
+  <item>HWCursor - enable or disable hardware cursor
+  <item>BusID - set this to "1" on the Indigo2 XL
+</itemize>
