2.2-6 10/25/2002
      [2.2.2-07c/2.2.2-07 (2.2-6)]

- New Support

  ATI FireGL 8800
  Compaq Evo N800c

  Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600  (2D only - Bronze/Silver)

  Generic selections:

  Trident CyberBLADE i1       DX (2D only - Bronze/Silver, tested)
  Trident CyberBLADE XP       LX (2D only - Bronze/Silver, tested)
  Trident CyberBLADE i7       LX (2D only - Bronze/Silver, untested)
  Trident CyberBLADE Ai1      LX (2D only - Bronze/Silver, untested)
  Trident CyberBLADE e4-128   LX (2D only - Bronze/Silver, untested)
  Trident CyberBLADE XP Ai1   LX (2D only - Bronze/Silver, untested)

- Trident

  - LCD screen expansion is supported on laptops with CyberBLADE XP

  - Video overlays are supported

  - Only 2D support is provided, so these drivers are only available
    in the Bronze and Silver editions.

  - DualView is also fully supported in the Silver edition.

- RADEON fixes and enhancements

  - Added support for ATI_vertex_array_object for use with UT2003
    NOTE: This extension is only exposed to direct rendering clients.

  - several other enhancements related to texture coordinate
    generation and transform were made to improve UT2003 performance.
    The game is quite playable now on Radeon 7500 and 8500 drivers

  - Fixed some texturing problems in the R100 driver seen in UT2003

  - corrected locks on Radeon cards (especially the 9000) that occured
    in some scenarios using the RENDER extension

  - corrected problem in solid color handling

  - OpenGL context management improvements

  - Fixed a display problem with some laptops that have a 1400x1050
    LCD and MOBILITY RADEON chipsets


- Matrox fixes and enhancements

  - added hardware RENDER support.

  - fixed a few overlay problems

  - fixed a pixmap cache thrashing problem that could cause
    dramatic slowdowns when using KDE if your pixmap cache is nearly
    full.  There is still a little more work to be done here.

  - Fixed a crashing problem seen with the Magic program.

  - Fixed a image caching problem with 16MB cards.

- core fixes and enhancements

  - Fixed a crash that resulted from using the DBE extension if not
    enough offscreen memory was available.

  - fixed bug that under certain circumstances, could cause the wrong
    texture coordinates to be fetched.

  - corrected VT handling code so that 2D operations can still render
    when the server is switched away.  All 3D clients are still
    suspended until the server is switched back.

  - Fixed some problems relating to buffer reads with GLXPixmaps and
    GLXPbuffers.

  - Improved RENDER performance in certain cases.

  - Corrected problems with Celetstia and OpenUniverse with mipmap
    generation in libGLU, if generic compressed textures were used.

- xglinfo now correctly reports information on multisampling buffers

- added hardware RENDER support to Matrox GXX cards and Intel i830 and
  i845 chipsets.

- r128 supports GL_EXT_texture_env_combine.

- corrected a generic lockup problem with Maya.
