Currently the display thread is used on Solaris-SPARC (requires Solaris 2.6 or later and the XIL libraries) and Linux glibc systems.
Using a display thread generally improves the performances and takes better advantage of multiprocessors hardware. For example, on a dual-processor SS20 with 40MHz CPUs, frame rate goes up to 15 fps with 100% use of both CPUs, to compare to 10 fps without the display thread.
In some cases, using the display thread may cause problems with the X library. If this happens, you should disable the display thread by setting the env variable MTVP_DISPLAY_THREAD_MODE to the appropriate value.
Release notes for those versions are here.26 Jul 99
