X Inside Incorporated sells a high performance X Server for Intel
based UNIX Systems. We are looking to expand our Beta test group to
include coverage for the additional chipsets and input devices.
We expect at least two Beta releases before we move to a release.
This is not a promotion - it's a fact of life that announcing a productQuote:>From today, if you buy Release 1.1, we'll upgrade you to 1.2 for free.
with no upgrade path causes sales of current products to drop :-(
Operating Systems supported for the first Beta test are:
BSDI 1.1
FreeBSD 1.1, 2.0 (with 1.1 compatibility libs)
ISC 4.1
Linux 1.0, 1.1
SCO 3.2.4 with X
SCO ODT 3.0 and up
SINIX-D & SINIX-Z
Solaris 2.4
UNIX System V Release 4.0 & derivatives (e.g. AT&T/NCR)
UNIX System V Release 4.2 & derivatives
UnixWare 1.0 to 1.2
We would like to hear from people used to recording their observations,
to help test the next release of our product in a range of conditions.
We are interested in testing in the following environments:
Users with the following graphics chipsets and 4MB on-board
for 1280x1024, or any memory size for 640x480, 24bpp packed,
(accelerated where supported by the graphics engine):
ATI Mach32, Mach64
Avance Logic 2228, 2301
Cirrus Logic 5424, 5426, 5428, 5429, 5430, 5434
Oak Technologies OTI087
S3 801, 805, 805i, 864, 911, 924, 928
Tseng ET4000, ET4000/W32, ET4000/W32i, ET4000/W32p
Users with S3 (especially the new Trio and Vision 866, 868,
968 chips), Avance, Compaq Qvision 1024 & Qvision 1280,
Tseng ET4000 and the ET4000/W32 family.
Users with two or more PCI graphics boards.
Users that tend to use fancy (read big) cursors on boards that
do have a hardware cursor.
If you are interested in taking part in the Beta test, please send
will send back a more detailed response with how to obtain the Beta,
install it and some more details on changes, etc.
