Re: [utah-glx-dev] Current status of MGA

[Tom G. <to...@al...>]

Hi there,

If anyone with utah-glx and an MGA has a moment, I'd be grateful if you
could check the latest 'AlteredSaver' release against the current CVS
(no longer have easily accessable test machine)...

Particular issues:
When you run 'altered' set to switch scenes after, say, 1 minute, the
TNT and MGA drivers *used* to *crash X Windows* after a few cycles [ie.
automatically play each of 4 scenes 3 times or so].

The Rage Pro drivers *used* to do this, but now work flawlessly with
AlteredSaver - hopefully the MGA drivers are also solid now. 'Altered'
requires glibc2.1.2.


full release:	
http://www.alteredworlds.com/linux/altered-2.11-full.tar.gz  [6.8MB]

patch from any previous version:
http://www.alteredworlds.com/linux/altered-2.11-patch.tar.gz [132KB]


As soon as I have access to a (our artist's) machine, I'll try testing
this myself...


take it easy,
