The Accelerated-X Server version 4.1.2 is now available for Linux on
DEC/Compaq Alpha processors. It is available via resellers or directly
from Xi Graphics. The supported distribution is Red Hat 5.2 for Alpha
processors.
Both the 21064 and 21164 processors are supported but Xi Graphics
strongly recommends the 21164 for best speed with Accelerated-X. A
minimum of 32MB system memory is recommended with best speeds developed
on a system with 64MB system memory or more. Benchmark test results
using the Xmark benchmark indicate that Accelerated-X on an Alpha
processor is relatively faster than other X Servers available for the
Alpha, just as with the Intel processor version. For example, in 24bpp
on a Matrox Millennium II PCI with a 366MHz Alpha processor,
Accelerated-X achieves 19 Xmarks while MetroX achieves 14 Xmarks. On a
3Dlabs Permedia 2 board, Accelerated-X achieves 12 Xmarks, MetroX
achieves 9 Xmarks and XFree86 3.3.3 achieves 6 Xmarks. Other benchmark
results are available form the Xi Graphics web site http://www.xig.com .
Like the Intel processor edition, Accelerated-X for Alpha processors
offers hardware graphical acceleration in all color depths, overlays on
capable hardware, hardware gamma color correction and software white
point color temperature correction factors, more than twenty different
international keyboard mappings and dynamically loaded drivers,
renderers and extensions. Free updates will be available from the Xi
Graphics Anon-FTP site to provide support for new graphics hardware.
Priced at US$149.95 the Server is available now on CD-ROM.
Cheers, JeremyC.
