Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 2:1.7.4-3

Attached patch should tell the autodection code that mips machines can
have newport cards so they get tested and used.

(Untested, but it looks trivally enough to fix the first of the three
problems in http://bugs.debian.org/566490).

Hi,

Given that:
- xserver-xorg-video-newport was removed some time ago
- The Newport display is only supported on SGI Indy and other SGI
  machines - none of which will be supported in stretch.

I think this bug can now be closed as not-applicable to stretch.

Thanks,
James
