RELEASE NOTES

Distributions support:

  * Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
  * SuSE Linux Enterprise 10
  * RedHat Enterprise 5

Licensing:

  * Parallel port dongles will not work under Linux, only USB dongles
    will function.

  * On some systems the usb dongle is not detected correctly, and
    requires a restart.

   # /etc/init.d/mil-licenses restart

Serial Ports:

  * Serial ports on the Helios are currently disabled.

  * M_UART MsysControl haven't been ported yet to Linux. Use minicom
    or other software to communicate with serial port.

  * Older Morphis boards can cause the system to crash at boot. The
    Linux kernel has trouble recognizing the Morphis serial ports.
    See README.morphis, to upgrade the firmware on the Morphis to fix
    this issue.

Display:

  * MIL's auxiliary display mode will only work with a Matrox G series PCI
    VGA board (G200, G400, G450, G550).  The VGA card driving the X
    server has no effect on the auxiliary display.  Dual-head G series
    VGA boards cannot be used to drive both the X server and the
    auxiliary display.

  * The auxiliary display does not work properly with 8-bit VCFs.

Drivers:

  * Kernel independant drivers require at least a 2.6.11 kernel, 
    see /opt/matrox_imaging/drivers/src/README for details.
