Mike, Is the AutoCad Release 11 XGL Display Driver for Open Windows being available with the current shipping release of AutoCad 11 for the Sun Sparc IPC or will the driver have to be downloaded off the Forum? The Sun Sparc IPC and Open Windows is new to me, so one of the re- quirements for the driver is GX video. What is the GX video? Mike Baker

The XGL Display Driver doesn't ship currently with AutoCAD but is available free of charge from your AutoCAD dealer. I'm not sure the the GX option is available on the IPC. If you do not have the Sun GX g~raphic accelerator *DO NOT* use this driver! The driver is over 2 megs in size and will only slow down your system if you don't have the needed hardware. If your not sure if your system has the Sun GX option check your Sun documentation or the vendor you bought hardware from. -Mike

Mike, Thanks for the information, I'll check Monday to see if it has the GX option. Mike
