|
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.

|

|
<item>X -configure does not generate a xorg.conf file.
|
||
|
|
<item>There's only a 1280x1024 mode.
|

<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 xorg.conf 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
|
||
|
|
