1.  Supported Hardware

This is an unaccelerated driver for the SGI Indy's newport cards. Both the
8bit and 24bit versions are tested and working with some limitations(see
below).  The 24bit newport additionally works in 8bit mode only.

2.  Notes

   o X -configure does not generate a XF86Config file

3.  Configuration

The following Section "Device" options are supported by the newport driver:

   o Option "bitplanes" "x" Gives the maximum number of bitplanes your card
     supports (8 or 24).
