- I would like to know what pixmode operations are valid on each flavor of the
- Indigo (Entry, ..., ELAN). It is my hope that the versions with hardware
- Z-buffers will allow the use of the PM_ZDATA operation, since I use that
- mode in code I have for a VGX. I also use PM_SIZE, PM_OFFSET, PM_STRIDE, and
- PM_TTOB, so if there are any problems/differences between flavors regarding
- these modes, I'd like to know that as well.
-
- By the way, did the graphics hardware for the Indigo come before or after
- IRIX 4.0.1 released? I'm curious because the man pages don't refer to
- the different graphics options now available.
-
- Thanks.
