=======================
Thanks for using Xi Graphics products!

Xi Graphics is pleased to announce the release of new
Wildcat III 6110/6210 support as well as updated support
for the 5110.  Here are the names of the new tar files:
  
  Summit_WX-Platinum-3Dlabs-WC5110-2.1-3-LINUX.tar 
  Summit_WX-Platinum-3Dlabs-WC6X10-2.1-1-LINUX.tar

  Summit_WX-Platinum-3Dlabs-WC5110-2.1-3-Solaris.tar 
  Summit_WX-Platinum-3Dlabs-WC6X10-2.1-1-Solaris.tar

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

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

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

- New support for the Wildcat 6110/6210 cards.  Genlock/multiview is
  not yet supported on the 6210, but it is planned for the future.

- GLX 1.3 added. (As well as SGIX_fbconfig & SGIX_pbuffer)

- GL_vertex_array extension has a "count" parameter.  Supported in the
  include file, and in the functions, but not gettable. Minor issue as
  nobody really uses the "count" parameter.

- bad float to int conversion in DrawPixels/CopyPixels/DrawBitmap
  would cause underflows and a missing line on top of an image that
  would render to X11-coordinate (*,0).

- WC2/WC3 fixed odd texture problem.

- fixed fonts issue finally. There was a binary sort inside fontdir.c
  that was not using the new compare function.

- several problems related to WID planes fixed.

- corrected problem with fast clear's on the WC2/WC3

- some clipping problems in Open Inventor fixed on the Wildcats

- no outline code for the polygon point mode. Added support for
  point mode.

- vertex code overrun possible internally if there were to many per
  vertex material changes.

- forceZ16 is now done via slow visuals.

- BackingStore/SaveUnders are back in the [SETTINGS] section.
        [You have to enable this manually for now]

- a fix that could cause the GL_LINE_LOOP primitive to hang the
  WC2/WC3

Cordially,
Xi Graphics Technical Support
