Update: Indy, XL8 graphics and X

hi!

ok, I've kinda gotten XL8 newport graphics working under xorg, however
there's a small list of brokenness:

* the default config seems to want to do 1024x768 (sigh I'm going to have
to write a modeline in 2025 aren't i), hw accel graphics and hw accel mouse
pointer;
* there's a lot of screen corruption with hw acceleration and mouse pointer
enabled;
* disabling hwaccel and accelerated mouse pointer fixes the corruption;
* if I then exit the X server, the console colours are way off, and if I
restart X then again, the colours are way off.

I emailed michael privately and he did say (and I did see in the code) he
did a bit of work a long while back to get the colours right in X. But,
whatever he did for XL24 isn't quite right for XL8.

I don't get any corruption in the wscons terminals though, and as far as I
can tell, that /is/ using some of the newport acceleration? (Michael,
correct me if I'm wrong?)

Anyway, I'll go hunting for an XL24 (but since it's 2025 and not 2005 these
are hard to come by nowdays) and see if everything's ok w/ acceleration on
that. If so then that's at least a starting point to figure out what's
going on.
