PRNewswire: Xi Graphics Inc. Introduces 3D Graphics Support for Matrox Cards

“The first 3D Accelerated-X graphics support software package
for a Matrox graphics card has been released by Xi Graphics Inc., a
Denver company that specializes in premium graphics support
software for Linux and UNIX(R) systems. The 3D Linux Graphics
Driver (LGD) is downloadable through Xi Graphics’ Web site at
www.xig.com.”

“The DualHead feature on the card has proved quite popular with
our Accelerated-X customers, who until now could only run DualHead
in 2D,” said David H. Methvin, Xi Graphics’ president and CEO.
“The Matrox G400 also is an exceptionally fast card in 2D
performance, racking up over 105 Xmarks at eight bit color depth;
until this card, our record was about 80 Xmarks. The 3D performance
is especially good for games.“

“Matrox’s DualHead Display feature allows the user to split the
display buffer, with half on one screen and half on the other
screen, providing essentially a Single Logical Screen capability
with the two screens. The LGD released this week supports the 32MB
model of the G400. Support for the 16MB variant is expected to be
ready soon. The LGD released this week supports the 32MB model of
