Thanks for the pointer. So it's a known bug. BTW, I noticed that there is
24bpp driver for newport, will it be part of Debian 3.0?

On page: http://www.debian.org/ports/mips/
there could be also these know bugs about X-server from Guido's page:

* xdm let's 2.4.X kernels oops. A decoded oops would be helpfull.
* newport: the console gets corrupted on some boards(black screen, only
blinking cursor). Bad DCB timings? Will need further investigation.

I already meet these bugs, maybe next newbie does it too.
