It's a problem with the newport driver.

Yes. Me.

Which revision does your NG1 board have? Mine is revision 5:
---8<--
newport0 at gio0 slot 2 addr 0x1f000000: SGI NG1 (board revision 5,
cmap revision 5, xmap revision 5, vc2 revision 0), depth 8
---8<---

Christopher Sekiya suggested a fix, which worked for me, in
http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/port-sgimips/2004/11/12/0000.html,
but it was never committed to the source tree...
