Some news: We have received r300 specifications from ATI (ATI Radeon
9500+), so we will be able to support these cards in time.  There is
no ETA.

The following is a snippet from the release notes describing new
support, enhanced support and bug fixes present in this release:

2.2-16 (all packages)(*)

- a serious bug with pixmap caching that was introduced in 2.2-15 was
  fixed in this release.  It affected all cards, but was only visible
  in certain configurations (Matrox GXXX DualView for example)

- corrected a problem with the Matrox GXXX cards with software cursors
  (which are used when these cards are configured for DualView).

- An issue with Intel chipsets was corrected.  The requires the latest
  xsvc driver (3.0-49).

- PEX was wrongly packaged with the Silver edition servers.  PEX is
  only supported on Gold and Platinum servers.

- Corrected a DualView problem with the Intel i852/i855 chipsets.

- An issue with video overlays beyond a certain size was corrected on
  Radeon chipsets.

- Corrected the 'errno' issue seen with recent linux distributions.


* We have had reports of problems with the 3Dlabs Wildcat VP560
  relating to use of DFP monitors, and problems related to the RENDER
  extension.  Unfortunately our VP560 was damaged, and a replacement
  was not recieved soon enough to schedule for this release.

  We will investigate these issues and release an update when ready.
  For this reason, the VP560 package is still at version 2.2-15.


  Thank you for choosing Accelerated X!
