Xi Graphics is pleased to announce the release of updated Summit DX 2.1 drivers. Here are the names of the new tar files: Summit_DX-Bronze-2.1-3-LINUX.tar Summit_DX-Gold-2.1-3-LINUX.tar Summit_DX-Platinum-2.1-3-LINUX.tar Summit_DX-Silver-2.1-3-LINUX.tar Summit_DX-Bronze-2.1-3-Solaris.tar Summit_DX-Gold-2.1-3-Solaris.tar Summit_DX-Platinum-2.1-3-Solaris.tar Summit_DX-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/desktop/ ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/Summit/solaris/desktop/ The following are the changes that have been made to these drivers: - a problem in using certain fonts (12x24) has been corrected. - 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 S3 Twister / ProSavage support Cordially, Xi Graphics Technical Support ===================== To unsubscribe from this list, please send email to majordomo@xxxxxxx with the message content 'unsubscribe summit-announce'. =====================
