| Package Revision History
===========================================================

03/27/2001 [2.1.2-08/09a]
        2.1-1 3Dlabs GVX1Pro package

- New support for 3Dlabs GVX1Pro

- experimental 'Blue Line' Stereo support.  To enable:

  1. Enable stereo in Xsetup.
  2. set and export the the X11_BLUE_LINE_STEREO env var like so
  (assuming bash):

            export X11_BLUE_LINE_STEREO=1
  3. Then start your Xserver.

  We are interested in any experiences, positive or negative,
  regarding this support.  Blue Line Stereo cannot be configured in
  Xsetup at this time.


- We have had reports about problems using 'O' with the GVX* cards.
  This is still a known problem and we are investigating. 

- display lists that contain a material change as the last element
  could dump core on a non-geometry path.  Seen with ivview.

- XDCCC_LINEAR_RGB_CORRECTION property was not being set if
  the visual(s) would allow internal correction

- stereo buffers for certain cards would not clear right back buffer
  for applications running in mono visuals, while stereo was enabled.

- added backing store

- backbuffer allocation for 24bpp was being done incorrectly

- s3s, s3t, i810 & i830 would not wait for textures to be unused before 
  destroying them

- After a display list was compiled, followed by a glMaterial*() call,
  some geometry accelerated drivers would dump core.

- texture_env_combine had uninitialized default values

- glGet*() returned wrong values for anisotropic max values

- rg6/r200 driver did the wrong thing for anisotropic mapping.

- a problem with texture_env_combine and multitexturing was fixed.

- clipping bug in celestia fixed. There was a problem
  with multitexturing and texture generation being used at the same
time.

- stereo clear for right hand buffer works now for left & right clears
with 
  a WC2.

- LOD-bias now supported for WC2.

- clipping problem with floating point precision fixed (UT sky).

- Appian board fix for Radeon VE (VBLANK)

- i810/i815 fixes for Sony Laptop.

- i810/i815 fixes for "Ctrl-C" with direct rendering client

- customer performance problem with pixmap -> pixmap CopyPlane
  operations

- New Twister / ProSavage support
