newport console fixes

Hello list,

I patched the newport console driver to have the correct colormap
when exiting X11 / switching from X11 to console.
This problem doesn't affect all versions of the newport, the old
revision in my very old indy doesn't show these effects.
Some revision information of my (different) newports is written in
the header of the attached diff.
Could someone please apply the patch to cvs (2.4 branch, 2.6 isn't
very usable for me), if there are no objections?

Markus

Just for the record, my Indy also exhibits this fault, but has different
cmap revision than yours:

NG1: Revision 6, 8 bitplanes, REX3 revision B, VC2 revision A,
     xmap9 revision A, cmap revision C, bt445 revision D
NG1: Screensize 1280x1024

The same as mine, showing this problem also.
