Xi Graphics is pleased to announce the release of new WX servers
supporting the 3Dlabs Wildcat VP series.

     The Wildcat VP cards supported are:

     Wildcat VP760
     Wildcat VP870
     Wildcat VP880Pro
     Wildcat VP970
     Wildcat VP990Pro

     The new servers can be found at:

     Linux WX
     ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/Summit/linux/workstation/

     Solaris WX
     ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/Summit/solaris/workstation/

     Here is a snippet from the release notes.


------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 3Dlabs Wildcat VP Series
------------------------------------------------------------------------

- The hardware Accumulation buffer is supported.

- Video windows (XVideo overlays) are not supported on this card.

- Accelerated readbacks for color, stencil, and other buffers are
  supported.

- The RENDER extension is also supported in hardware.

- We have seen some issues when multisampling is used with Stereo
  applications.  If you see problems, please disable multisampling in
  Xsetup.

- There is a problem rendering the sky and ground background with the
  'perfly' demo program that comes with Performer.  Certain
  conditioned modelview/projection matrices result in erratic
  transformation.

- The ARB_vertex_program OpenGL extension is not supported, but we are
  working on it.

- Unreal Tournament 2003 will not render correctly.  We are working to
  resolve this problem.

- There may be a noise problem when using very high resolutions and
  color depths.

- DualView is supported when two DFPs or two analog monitors are
  connected.  If you combine an analog with a DFP, then the DFP must
  be the primary head.

- Final testing of this release (2.2-1) indicated that our 3D line
  drawing performance is about half of what it should be.  We will
  address this in the next release.


Thank you for choosing Accelerated X!
