Past postings are available from our web site at <http://www.xig.com/Lists/summit-announce>. ======================= Thanks for using Xi Graphics products! Xi Graphics is pleased to announce the release of updated Summit LX 2.1 drivers. Here are the names of the new tar files: Summit_LX-Bronze-2.1-7-LINUX.tar Summit_LX-Gold-2.1-7-LINUX.tar Summit_LX-Platinum-2.1-7-LINUX.tar Summit_LX-Silver-2.1-7-LINUX.tar Summit_LX-Bronze-2.1-7-Solaris.tar Summit_LX-Gold-2.1-7-Solaris.tar Summit_LX-Platinum-2.1-7-Solaris.tar Summit_LX-Silver-2.1-7-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: 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.
