Thanks for using Xi Graphics products!

Xi Graphics is pleased to announce the release
of updated Summit MX 2.1 drivers.  Here are the drivers
that have been updated:

  Summit_MX-Bronze-2.1-2-LINUX.tar        
  Summit_MX-Gold-2.1-2-LINUX.tar    
  Summit_MX-Platinum-2.1-2-LINUX.tar   
  Summit_MX-Silver-2.1-2-LINUX.tar  

  Summit_MX-Bronze-2.1-2-Solaris.tar 
  Summit_MX-Gold-2.1-2-Solaris.tar     
  Summit_MX-Platinum-2.1-2-Solaris.tar 
  Summit_MX-Silver-2.1-2-Solaris.tar  

These drivers can be downloaded from the following
directories for Linux and Solaris, respectively:

ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/Summit/linux/multihead/
ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/Summit/solaris/multihead/

The following are the changes that have been made
to these drivers:

03/14/2002 [2.1.1-10/ogl9a]

           2.1-3 MX packages

- significant Matrox performance increases

- SMP interrupt fixes for Matrox and E&S drivers

- A lock up using XMMS with Matrox G200MMS/G4XX on SMP systems has been
  addressed.

- corrected a clipping problem with the Radeons.  In cases where a
  window partially occluded a 3D window, sometimes the 3D window would
  be clipped out (not visible) until the overlapping window was moved
  out of the way.

- more Radeon 7500 fixes

- added thresholds for minimum display list caching size, and clip size

- fixed a mach64 flushing problem

- fixed server core when beep with a frequency of 0 supplied (xdos).

- fixed several generic geometry problems

  - wrong code generated for flat-non-lit cases.
  - generated wrong/suboptimal code in many flat shaded cases.

- further optimizations for slower PIII machines

- line drawing bug in mem8 module (planemasking).

- corrected GL/GLU g++ dependencies.  In some circumstances, you may
  need to recompile code that had been compiled with previous versions
of
  GL/GLU.

- corrects cube mapping problems

- glIsEnabled(GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_ARB) didn't work

- EXT_texture_lod_bias fixed

- corrects some problems seen with SSE/K3D instructions and floating
  point operations.

- several other SSE/SSE2/MMX improvements

- corrects some problems with the touchscreen drivers (pressure
  buttons) and an ELO flushing problem.

- AMD machines are still showing occasional locks ups (even with
  AGP1X).  PCI boards do not have this problem.

- added normalize()/normalizef() to ogl.mod. normalizef() is the fast
  variant (that was in use overall before). This results in higher
  precision for lighting, and helps conformance for geometry engines

- added Dvorak keyboard

- fixed Japanese keyboard

- There is a general problem where the OpenGL texture_env_combine
  extension may not work properly.

Cordially,
