The 3.0.2 release of P96 is now available for registered customers. The following changed:

- Added a new flag to indicate that the sprite resolution is halfed
horizontally on double-clocked rates. Thie Cirrus GD5434 is a victim
double-clocking, and hence had a wrongly positioned mouse pointer
in double clocked modes.
- Computation of the total required video RAM for enabling the screen
dragging was not correct, and did not take alignment requirements
of screens into account. This was fixed now.
- The Z-III configuration of the CyberVision3D was not in the database
of the installer script and thus failed to install the required
components.
- The S3Virge.chip driver was still delivered with a major version of 7,
though the major version should have been 42.
- Apparently, the legacy VGA engine of the S3 Virge chip has problems
pipelining its data while the blitter is accessing the video RAM. The
new driver therefore only enables the blitter if the stream processor
is enabled as well, which happens for non-double-clocked,
non-double-scan video modes and if no screen dragging is in process.
- The rtg.library did not accept a LoadModule'd version of the graphics
library as original and thus recognized it as "patched" by the P5
CVisionPPC driver, disabling the native modes.
- The 3DLabsPermedia2 driver is now more careful reseting the chip which
could create (physical) bus errors while the chip is still busy
performing the reset.
- Due to a missing bracket, the 3DLabsPermedia2 driver was still not
installed along with the CVisionPPC card driver.

Have fun,

Thomas
