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:

- fixed a bug in ogl.mod where if the secondary texture needed a RQ
  coordinate, but not the first one, an illegal vertex format would be
  used and eventually dump core.

- changed *-tvtuner into *-television for V4L compat (XVideo)

  - also changed endcoding ids to be 0 based

- fixed problem in XDA that should improve display list performance

- ati rage theatre fixes (tvtuner and sound chip fixes for Radeon
  8500)

- added framelock 

- added genlock 

- scrollwheel changes through Xsetup can be changed on the fly without
  restarting X.

- fixed config problem with extended devices (bad Xaccel.ini
  writeback)

- fixed problem with some VTK apps that would cause an application core

- fixed keypress/release problem with XKB

- fixed spanish keyboard layout

- updated logic for stencilTest/depthTest for all drivers (Java3D
  problem)

- enabled saveunders/backing store for overlays

Cordially,
Xi Graphics Technical Support
