Bug#402178: Debian MIPS Xorg: server won't start

[<allamasg@ono.com>]

Hi Brice:

I solved the problem following these instructions:

- select /dev/psaux as mouse port, PS/2 protocol
- select 1280x1024 as resolution, another resolution is not supported
- add Option "no_accel" to "Device" section
Section "Device"
Identifier "SGI Newport"
Driver "newport"
Option "no_accel" <-- *** this is the key point ***
EndSection
This avoids this error: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/newport_drv.so: 
undefined symbol

I found the solution searching on the Internet some time after the error 
appeared:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mips/2007/02/msg00010.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-mips@lists.debian.org/msg06376.html
http://help.lockergnome.com/linux/Indy-Org-ftopict409638.html

Now it works like a charm.

If I can help you in any way please contact me, thank you very much for your 
interest, I'm very pleased.
