Supported Hardware

The newport driver supports the Newport(sometimes called XL) cards found in SGI Indys. It does not support the XZ boards. It supports both the 8bit and 24bit versions of the Newport.

Configuration Details

Please refer to XF86Config(5) for general configuration details. This section only covers configuration details specific to this driver.
