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


05/08/2002 [2.1.4-08a/2.1.3-04/2.1.3-02]
           2.1-7 LX packages

- New Support for IBM Thinkpad a31p with the ATI FireGL 7800 chipset.

- New support for Dell Latitude c800

- correct possible core problem with some s3 based chips.

- correct possible problem in SW geometry pipeline involving buffer
  re-allocation. 

- New support for the Toshiba Tecra 9000

- New Generic chipset entries added

- There is now television output support for the Toshiba Tecra 9000!
  TV support has been added on a generic basis to the Savage/IX,
  ProSavage, and SuperSavage drivers.  TV out support for other
  chipsets is forthcoming.

  Xsetup will show new television configuration options 
  if you select a board that supports television output.  
  To enable television, select either 'Composite', 'S-VIDEO', 
  or 'SCART' depending on how the television is connected.  
  You can select from the following TV
standards:                                                                   
                                                                              
 
  NTSC
  NTSCJ 
  PAL  
  PALM 
  PALN   
  PALNC 
 
SECAM                                                                    

  You can even change the Brightness, Contrast, and 
  Saturation of the television image with
Xsetup!                                              
                                                                              
 
  To use television in combination with a laptop LCD, 
  use the SimulView hotkey to cycle from the internal 
  display to the external display, then to the 
  television (the default SimulView hotkey is             
  Ctrl-Alt-Tab). On laptops with DualView, television 
  can be used simultaneously with the primary display 
  by enabling both ZoomView and television
output.                                                      
                                                                              
 
  If you set the new SimulView option 'TV', 
  Accelerated-X will automatically start on the
  television.                                       

- 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).

- 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.

- 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.

Cordially,
