The Wildcat is not a qualified platform according to this sgi document:
http://www.sgi.com/software/performer/opengl_linux.pdf
I raised this question in 2002, see:
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/performer/mail/info-performer/perf-02-07/0052.html
But did not get a response.
Having said this, Performer has no problems with our 6220 cards.
However, the OpenGL drivers from Xi are unstable, and performance is
below nvidia due to dreadful fillrate.
