This directory contains update files for Accelerated-X 5.0.x desktop edition. This INDEX file provides information about all files contained in ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/updates/accelx/desktop/intel/5.0.3. Naming convention: D5000.001.tar.gz || | +--- the file type. In this case, a tar file gzipped. || +--- The number of the update - or, for releases prior to the current || shipping release, this field may contain the word 'jumbo'. For || releases which have a jumbo update, this update should be installed || before any later updates are applied for that release (if any || others exist). Updates for a particular version of Accelerated-X || should always be installed in sequential order - from smallest || (oldest) to largest (newest). |+--- Version of Accelerated-X that this update applies to. ie: 5000 applies | to Acclerated-X v5.0. +- Product code. In this case, Desktop Accelerated-X. Typically, an update is issued for one of two reasons. Either to add support for a new graphics board/chipset or to fix a specific problem with a particular graphics board or chipset revision. There are other types of updates (such as security fixes). The update type is denoted in the description of each update below. If you wish to support a graphics card that is not listed in the board section of Xsetup, you should scan this file to see if your board/chipset is listed in an update containing 'new support' in the type field. If such an update exists, download it. Also look to see if there are other, newer updates for your board/chipset containing 'updated support' in the type field. If there are, download those as well. Apply all updates in sequential order from oldest (smallest update number) to newest. If you do not have the board or chipset revision listed in the update in question, even if your board or chipset is from the same manufacturer, you probably don't need the update. Each update listed below has 6 sections. The update name, a list of update prerequisites, a list of files which are part of the update, the update type, the boards and chipset revisions affected, and some detailed information about the update. NOTE: You will only need a .gz OR .Z file for a given update, never both. If you are not sure which you need, we recommend the following: for FreeBSD and Linux users, download the .gz file, for users of all other supported operating systems, download the .Z file. Please download and read the associate .txt file for an update before installing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- :update : D5003.001 :requires : :files : D5003.001.tar.gz, D5003.001.tar.Z, D5003.001.txt :type : updated support :chipsets : all Number 9 chipsets :boards : all Number 9-based boards :date : 10/07/1999 :description : This update provides updated support for the number9.ddx and addresses performance problems with PCI-based cards and pixmap corruption. :update : D5003.002 :requires : :files : D5003.002.tar.gz, D5003.002.tar.Z, D5003.002.txt :type : new support :chipsets : S3 Trio3D/2X :boards : Sparkle SP362B :date : 10/07/1999 :description : This update provides new support for the Sparkle SP362B card, which uses the S3 Trio3D/2X chipset.
