Patch 2326: "Onyx2 6.4 graphics rollup #3 including GVO and DVP2
support" contains a regression which causes multi-pipe Performer
programs to hang. Details of a workaround are sketchy at this
point.
Note that this patch is specific to Onyx2 IR and 6.4, and that the
only Performer programs effected by this regression would be those
running in multi-pipe mode.
Only this patch (2326) is known to have this problem. The current
graphics roll-up patch for Onyx/6.2/IR (patch 1808) doesn't have the
regression. Likewise, prior graphics roll-up patches for Onyx2
didn't have the problem.
The patch is still in the 12/1/97 recommended patch set for Onyx2
because it contains some other important fixes. Those of you with a
single-pipe system shouldn't be effected by the problem, and in fact,
should probably load this patch.
But for the moment, I'd advise those of you with a multi-pipe Onyx2
IR running multi-pipe Performer applications to stay with patch 2191,
"Onyx2 6.4 graphics rollup #2 including GVO support".
Regards,
Allan
