======================= 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 Version 2.2-14 of the Accelerated X Summit series. Existing Summit users can upgrade to this release for free. The updated servers can be found at: Linux DX ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/Summit/linux/desktop/ Linux LX ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/Summit/linux/laptop/ Linux MX ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/Summit/linux/multihead/ Linux WX ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/Summit/linux/workstation/ Solaris DX ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/Summit/solaris/desktop/ Solaris LX ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/Summit/solaris/laptop/ Solaris MX ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/Summit/solaris/multihead/ Solaris WX ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/Summit/solaris/workstation/ The following is a snippet from the release notes describing new support, enhanced support and bug fixes present in this release: 2.2-14 (all packages) - Corrected some issues under Solaris seen with heavily threaded applications on SMP systems, that could cause application or server locks and crashes. - Corrected some initialization problems with Intel chipsets (i830, i845, i852, i865). - Fixed a problem with texturing in the Intel 830, Intel 845 and Intel 865 drivers. - Corrected BIOS read problem seen on some ATI IGP chipsets. This could cause a corrupted display on startup. - Removed the ability to choose the maximum number of client connections. This functionality was added in 2.2-12, however customers reported problems in that clients were being mysteriously killed. We were never able to duplicate this issue. However, since a number of customers reported this behavior, we felt the functionality should be removed pending further investigation, and to preserve the stability of the X server. - fixed a problem in the intitialization of input devices upon return from an APM suspend, or VT switch. This problem could cause the server to softlock if a device that was present at server startup time, was unavailable after a restore (a USB mouse on a laptop that was removed before resuming from an APM event for example). - Corrected problem on Appian Rushmore that prevented a DFP on the second head of each controller from being detected and initialized. - Corrected problem with Wildcat VP560 that caused corrupted colors when a DFP was attached. - Corrected problem with the use of Backing Store and Overlay planes. - Worked around a problem with interrupts on Solaris for Matrox cards. If ACPI is being used and the driver locks on startup or behaves very slowly, you can specify the 'DisableIntDma' property underneath the '[ADAPTER_INFO]' section in the XQA file to disable interrupts in the driver: [PROPERTIES] DisableIntDma = True; This will reduce overall graphics performance. - Certain Dell workstations may require a BIOS update to work correctly with multiheaded Matrox cards such as the G450 MMS. - Corrected a problem where client connections would sometimes hang while connecting to the server, until a VT switch was done. - Added software implementation of PEX extension. This requires the Silver or Platinum edition. Thank you for choosing Accelerated X!
