  * Touchscreen support for Panasonic Toughbooks is available in CX

- Fixed a problem with line drawing and text Xsetup in the Red Hat 8.0
  console.

- Fixed a problem with graphical Xsetup and Red Hat 8.0 related to
  multibyte strings.

- Fixed a problem using multiple touchscreens with the MX product.

- Fixed a problem with resolution switching in DualView.

- Worked around a bug in Mandrake and SuSE that could cause the
  keyboard and mouse input to stop when booting into a login manager
  (KDM/GDM).

- Added Standard 130kHz and 140kHz entries to Xsetup for newer
  monitors that are capable or higher resolutions and refresh
  rates. You can add entries under the [RESOLUTIONS] and [DESKTOPS]
  sections of the 'XQA' file to use the following resolutions (if your
  card supports it):

       2048x1536
       1920x1200
       1880x1440
       1856x1392
       1800x1440
       1792x1344

- Corrected problem in the 'Standard 120Khz' Monitor entry that
  prevented the full refresh capabilities of the monitor from being
  available.

- fixed panning logic to properly use the hot-spot of a cursor,
  instead of the upper left corner of cursor image.

- improved XVideo PutImage code to use faster copies

- added some debugging code for PCIBusScan

- fixed PCIBusScan writeback in Xaccel.ini

- fixed updates of the fog color in color index mode

- ATI

  - Added TV out support for certain desktop ATI chipsets that are
    DualView capable and generically for laptops with the ATI MOBILITY
    RADEON 7500, ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9000, and ATI MOBILITY FIRE GL
    9000.

  - Added 64MB entries for the ATI RADEON VE/7000.

  - Fixed a RENDER problem where certain fonts or icons would not be
    drawn correctly in KDE or GNOME on the second monitor when
    DualView is enabled.

- Appian

  - Fixed a memory problem with newer Appian Rushmore cards that have
    newer memory and a new BIOS.

- Matrox

  - Addressed random locks when using Matrox cards in the MX product
    on some machines. Requires xsvc 3.0-41 or newer.

- Intel

  - Fixed a DualView problem seen on some laptops with the i830
    chipset.  If there are more problems, please contact support.

  - Fixed a initialization problem with some motherboards with the
    i845 chipset that would result in a blank screen (seen on the Dell
    Optiplex GX260).

  - Known Issue:

    - There is a problem with the i830 chipset under Solaris/Intel.
      If you start the server manually from the console, the
      information that the server prints on startup can cause the
      server to hang.  We are investigating this problem.

      If you intend to start the server manually on the console,
      please direct all output to /dev/null or some logfile, ie:

      Xaccel >/dev/null 2>&1

      This problem will not be seen if you are using CDE to start the
      server, as dtlogin will route all server output to
      /var/dt/Xerrors.

- Input subsystem

  - corrected possible ring buffer overflow.

  - correct Synaptics driver to reset device on server exit

  - corrected fidp driver to properly reset on server exit.


  Thank you for choosing Accelerated X!
