Hello,

I just imported Xorg's newport driver and made it work on NetBSD.  
Unlike XFree86's driver it supports all kinds of hardware  
acceleration, including alpha blending. It does show some minor  
glitches, mainly related to patterns though, and hasn't seen a lot of  
testing ( I just made it work on my hardware - that's an R5k Indy with  
24bit Newport )
To build a release with Xorg all you need is X11FLAVOUR=Xorg.
The driver needs testing, especially on 8bit boards.

In a related note - there are still some rough edges in the kernel  
driver to iron out, like screen redrawing when X exits, picking the  
right screen description and so on. I'll hopefully have time for that  
in the next few days. X should be usable though.

Here's some Xorg.0.log pr0n:
