Bug#208500: xserver-xfree86: unuseable default modes for newport driver

["Bernhard R. Link" <brlink@debian.org>]

Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-11
Severity: minor


If choosing the newport driver, the default modes
selected are not supported by the driver. (According
to /usr/share/doc/xserver-xfree86/README.newport
and the error message I get otherwise).

I guess something like

if [ "$RET" = "newport" ]; then
  DEFAULT_DEPTH=8
  DEFAULT_MODES="1280x1024"

at the correct place in xserver-xfree86.config will 
improve the situation a lot.
