<title>Information for newport Users

<toc>
<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>
