Access X | The SGI AccessX graphical interface allows movement-impaired users to set and activate the following five special keyboard features: (1) MouseKeys turns the user's keyboard number pad into a pointer controller, enabling the user to move the pointer without the mouse. (2) BounceKeys makes the keyboard ignore spurious extra presses of a key. (3) StickyKeys causes modifier keys such as Shift, Ctrl, and Alt to latch and affect the next key pressed, such that modifier keys and other keys may be pressed in sequence instead of simultaneously. (4) SlowKeys makes the keyboard ignore spurious presses of other keys on the way to a target key. (5) RepeatKeys lets the user toggle whether held keys are acknowledged repeatedly or just once. The SGI AccessX status window updates in real time to give feedback whenever the user presses, latches (holds down), and releases the mouse button and modifier keys. | |

Adobe Photoshop Performance Package (sgips) | This package contains Photoshop plug-ins that accelerate many of Photoshop's image processing functions. Plug-ins are software modules (DSOs under UNIX) with which Photoshop can dynamically link to provide new features or, in this case, override built-in functions. The plug-in version of these functions use your system's image processing hardware to help perform the required operations many times faster than the main CPU can. If you purchase Photoshop, install this product and launch Photoshop using the "photoshop_sgi" icon, available on the Applications page of the Icon Catalog, to take advantage of these enhancements. | ![]() |
