======================= This is a commercial posting from a mailing list to which you have subscribed. Past postings are available from our web site at <http://www.xig.com/Lists/summit-announce>. ======================= 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!
