Thanks for using Xi Graphics products!

of updated Summit LX 2.1 drivers.  Here are the names
of the new tar files:

  Summit_LX-Bronze-2.1-3-LINUX.tar        
  Summit_LX-Gold-2.1-3-LINUX.tar    
  Summit_LX-Platinum-2.1-3-LINUX.tar

  Summit_LX-Gold-2.1-3-Solaris.tar     
  Summit_LX-Platinum-2.1-3-Solaris.tar 
  Summit_LX-Silver-2.1-3-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:

03/28/2001 [2.1.2-08/09a]
        2.1-3 All LX packages

- New support:

  - Sony PCG FX220 (i815)
  - Sony PCG 951a (unofficial) (i815)
  - HP ZT 1000 series (S3 Twister)

- 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.

Cordially,
Xi Graphics Technical Support
