I am not making any advertising of any kind by asking to people if they
have tested the WildCat 4110 on Linux/Performer ... I didn't ever mention
the Intergraph name voluntary ! My industrial origin is Thomson-CSF and
we are absolutly NOT in the 3D board business ... and have no religion in
that domain ... we have been working for 14 years now with Silicon
Graphics (sorry SGI)
hardware but we cannot just throw away the fact that solutions for high
performance graphics with lower cost are arriving on the market ! Our
customer are asking for it ! ... so if this kind of hardware is already
used by
anyone or in the process of being used on a PC with Linux/Performer, I
think my question is legitimate here ! Performer is SGI but Linux push it
in some kind of hardware neutral zone ... and my question concern
Performer
WITH Linux WITH this board and not any kind of ViewPerf informations I
already have ! Sorry for being rude ;-)
