-
- This release note describes patch SG0001301 to IRIX 6.2.
-
- 1.1 _S_u_p_p_o_r_t_e_d__H_a_r_d_w_a_r_e__P_l_a_t_f_o_r_m_s
-
- This patch contains bug fixes for InfiniteReality. The
- software cannot be installed on other configurations.
-
-
- 1.2 _S_u_p_p_o_r_t_e_d__S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e__P_l_a_t_f_o_r_m_s
-
- This patch contains bug fixes for eoe software on
- InfiniteReality on a system running 6.2. The software
- cannot be installed on other configurations.
-
- 1.3 _B_u_g_s__F_i_x_e_d__b_y__P_a_t_c_h__S_G_0_0_0_1_3_0_1

- PV359464 - blank video in IR textport This patch contains a
- fix for the InfiniteReality textport that would cause it to
- come up with blank video on production hardware. The bug is
- not fatal, but since the user can't see what's going on, it
- makes the system very difficult to use until the X server
- starts up. Because this fix was applied to all machines
- before they shipped, you should only need this patch if
- you're forced to re-install 6.2 eoe from scratch.
-
- The patch re-flashes an EEPROM on the InfiniteReality board
- that is used to display the textport.
-
- PV363854 - certain DG4 boards' DACs do not get initialized
- correctly When a machine is power-cycled while warm, a small
- percentage of InfiniteReality DG4 boards may not initialize
- the DACs correctly, so video comes up scrambled. The change
- is to both textport and operational ucode.
-
- PV361565 - Sirius may not be detected (by ircombine and
- others)
-
- the above fix also fixes this
-
- The patch re-flashes an EEPROM on the InfiniteReality board
- that is used to display the textport. The version number of
- the textport.bin image is 104.
-
- PV356365 - InfiniteReality w/ Sirius suffers from field-
- dominance confusion The following worked in 6.2MR
- field 2 dominance in NTSC
- field 1 dominance in PAL
-
- Now all variations work.

-
- PV364443 - glMaterial() change outside of bgn/end, between
- small geometry may have caused a pipe hang.
-
- PV363681 - The quality of the multisample transparency mask
- was not as good as it could have been. This gets it up to 32
- in the 8 multisample case.
-
- PV373067 - InfiniteReality graphics may hang during
- shutdown/reboot. Fixed.
-
- There is a rare graphics hang caused by strided pixel DMAs
- that is fixed in patch 1301. In relation to this, some of
- the DMA vs. PIO tuning constants have been updated so
- performance is maintained or increased in most cases.
-
- Patch 1301 obsoletes and replaces patches 1197 and 1252.
-
- 1.4 _S_u_b_s_y_s_t_e_m_s__I_n_c_l_u_d_e_d__i_n__P_a_t_c_h__S_G_0_0_0_1_3_0_1
-
- This patch release includes these subsystems:
-
- +o patchSG0001301.eoe_sw.gfx
-
-
- 1.5 _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__I_n_s_t_r_u_c_t_i_o_n_s
-
- Because you want to install only the patches for problems
- you have encountered, patch software is not installed by
- default. After reading the descriptions of the bugs fixed
- in this patch (see Section 1.3), determine the patches that
- meet your specific needs.
-
- If, after reading Sections 1.1 and 1.2 of these release
- notes, you are unsure whether your hardware and software
- meet the requirements for installing a particular patch, run
- _i_n_s_t. The _i_n_s_t program does not allow you to install
- patches that are incompatible with your hardware or
- software.
-
- Patch software is installed like any other Silicon Graphics
- software product. Follow the instructions in your _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e
- _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_o_r'_s _G_u_i_d_e to bring up the miniroot
- form of the software installation tools.
-
- Follow these steps to select a patch for installation:
-
- 1. At the Inst> prompt, type
-
- iiiinnnnssssttttaaaallllllll ppppaaaattttcccchhhhSSSSGGGG_x_x_x_x_x_x_x
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- - 3 -
-
-
-
- where _x_x_x_x_x_x_x is the patch number.
-
- 2. Initiate the installation sequence. Type
-
- IIIInnnnsssstttt>>>> ggggoooo
-
- 3. You may find that two patches have been marked as
- incompatible. (The installation tools reject an
- installation request if an incompatibility is
- detected.) If this occurs, you must deselect one of
- the patches.
-
- IIIInnnnsssstttt>>>> kkkkeeeeeeeepppp ppppaaaattttcccchhhhSSSSGGGG_x_x_x_x_x_x_x
-
- where _x_x_x_x_x_x_x is the patch number.
-
- 4. After completing the installation process, exit the
- _i_n_s_t program by typing
-
- IIIInnnnsssstttt>>>> qqqquuuuiiiitttt
-
-
-
- 1.6 _P_a_t_c_h__R_e_m_o_v_a_l__I_n_s_t_r_u_c_t_i_o_n_s
-
- To remove a patch, use the _v_e_r_s_i_o_n_s _r_e_m_o_v_e command as you
- would for any other software subsystem. The removal process
- reinstates the original version of software unless you have
- specifically removed the patch history from your system.
-
- vvvveeeerrrrssssiiiioooonnnnssss rrrreeeemmmmoooovvvveeee ppppaaaattttcccchhhhSSSSGGGG_x_x_x_x_x_x_x
-
- where _x_x_x_x_x_x_x is the patch number.
-
- To keep a patch but increase your disk space, use the
- _v_e_r_s_i_o_n_s _r_e_m_o_v_e_h_i_s_t command to remove the patch history.
-
- vvvveeeerrrrssssiiiioooonnnnssss rrrreeeemmmmoooovvvveeeehhhhiiiisssstttt ppppaaaattttcccchhhhSSSSGGGG_x_x_x_x_x_x_x
-
- where _x_x_x_x_x_x_x is the patch number.
