Xi Graphics is pleased to announce the release of Version 2.4-9 of 
Accelerated X Summit for Matrox Parhelia and Intel 9XX cards.

     The new servers can be found at:

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

     Linux LX (i9XX)
     ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/Summit/linux/laptop/

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

     Solaris LX (i9XX)
     ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/Summit/solaris/laptop/



     The following is the release notes for these packages:


- New Support:

  - Matrox RG 200DL (Extio) (ATC - from Matrox only)
  - Matrox RG 400SL (Extio) (ATC - from Matrox only)
  - Matrox APVe
  - Matrox LP QID PCIe
  - Intel 945

- Unified the 32 bit and 64 bit servers.  This version will work
  on i386, x86_64 (linux/solaris), and sparcv9 (solaris)
  architectures (with the appropriate xsvc package of course).

- Now requires xsvc 4.x.  Previous versions of xsvc (3.x) will not work
  with these servers.  A seperate package is provided for i386 and
  x86_64 architectures.

  For Solaris, the x86_64 xsvc package will work in both 32bit and
  64bit modes, and only supports Solaris 10.  The 32bit xsvc packages
  will work on Solaris 8-10 for 32b kernels.

- reworked the mode setting and configuration of the output channels
  in the Parhelia driver significantly.  Corrected several EDID
  probing and text restore issues.

- corrected a problem with line drawing that could cause some
  corruption to appear in Gnome/KDE window decorations on Parhelia
  hardware.

- corrected problem with German and French keyboards under Solaris 10
  U1.

- corrected a problem with some newer Microsoft Intelli-mice.

- Corrected a problem with Intel 9XX chipsets on Solaris that could
  result in a panic when xsvc is installed, or when the X server
  exits.

- for Linux installations, a new shell script 'XInstall' is now
  provided in the $XACCELHOME/bin/ directory.  This script should help
  with installation of Summit on systems that do not support RPM
  packages.  In addition, this script can be run at any time to
  re-check and 'fix' OpenGL, Xda, and XME library links, and
  re-install the various 'X' symlinks when an OS 'updater' has trashed
  them.

- Note, 64b OpenGL is not yet supported, but will be eventually.  When
  it's available, it will be added to the Platinum packages.


  Thank you for choosing Accelerated X!
