(Announced in news://news.scitechsoft.com/scitech.snap.graphics.os2) URL: http://www.scitechsoft.com/products/enterprise/snap_os2_content.html Download: ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/snap/os2/beta/ Changelog: http://www.scitechsoft.com/snap2_changes.txt Changes in 2.1.5 (build 393) ---------------------------- . Added full acceleration support for the Nvidia GeForce FX 5200, GeForce4 MX 440 8X, GeForce4 Ti 4200 8X, GeForce4 Ti 4800, Quadro4 NVS, and Quadro4 XGL. The GeForce4 MX 460, GeForce4 Ti 4400, and GeForce4 Ti 4600 are all separately detected and certified now. VGA output should now work correctly on both heads for graphics cards that have two connectors (including those that only have the second head!); note that this does NOT mean there is MultiHead support. Also, DDC monitor detection is now working on most chipsets. . Added full acceleration support for the ATI Radeon 9500 and Radeon 9500 Pro chipsets, which includes zooming support. Also fixed some text mode refresh rate problems on the Radeon 9700 Pro. There is also uncertified support for the Radeon 9100 and 9800 Pro; these may or may not work. . DVI output is now officially supported on the i865G chipset. . Zooming to 512x384 was not properly switching to software mouse cursor when running on the LCD panel on the Mobility Radeon chipsets; fixed. . When using MultiHead, StarOffice will display fonts stretched. Other programs, such as the System Clock, look distorted as well. You can now manually fix this by setting the SNAPHRES or SNAPVRES environment variables in your Config.Sys. For details, see the FAQ: http://www.scitechsoft.com/support/faq/fom.cgi?file=26 . Removed the window resizing code from the MultiHead centering option, as it was causing problems with tabbed dialogs such as the System object, and perhaps other windows as well. . Removed the ThinkPad LCD panels from the monitor database, as they should not have been there in the first place. . The uninstall program now supports the "/u" switch for unattended removal (no confirmation or dialog prompts). . Integrated latest versions (E.096) of IBM GRADD components. This fixes DOS sessions on the Rage128 Pro chipsets, and Win/OS2 problems on SMP machines when using stack switching. Version D.096 fixed the Watcom debugger problems caused by GRADD C.096. If you are using SMP and getting SYS1924 crashes, you need to get the new PMMERGE.DLL for CMVC Defect 272686, or revert back to the older VMAN.DLL (from SNAP 2.1.3).
