  Summit_LX-Platinum-2.1-2-LINUX.tar

  Summit_LX-Bronze-2.1-2-Solaris.tar 
  Summit_LX-Gold-2.1-2-Solaris.tar     
  Summit_LX-Platinum-2.1-2-Solaris.tar 
  Summit_LX-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/laptop/
ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/Summit/solaris/laptop/

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

03/13/2002 [2.1.1-10/ogl9a]

           2.1-2 LX packages

- New support

      - Dell Inspiron 7500 
      - Dell Latitude c400 (i830)
      - generic Intel 830 support

- 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.

- there are still some issues being reported by AMD users.  Setting
  AGP to 1X is the only solution at this time.

- 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

- NOTE: Some users are having problems with the Dell Inspiron 8100
  driver, while others are not.  If you are experiencing problems with
  8100 support, and would like to loan us your laptop so we can try to
  identify and resolve the issue, you can have a free server.  Contact
  equipment@xxxxxxx if you are interested.  

Cordially,
Xi Graphics Technical Support
