Hi - we have a mailing list (several, actually) for patch and other
announcements.  Accelx-patches was recently (Jan 2nd) sent an
announcement for a new Matrox module that will correct this problem.
There are one or two known problems still remaining that will be seen
under certain conditions, which is why this is released as a Beta
patch... See our Anon-FTP Server, ftp.xinside.com in accelx/1.2/beta
and check out the README and the matrox.tar.gz .  A release
correcting all known problems on all hardware types is expected in
the next week.

We try to keep the demo the same as the shipping diskettes, with the
exception of the client and Server count limits, which is why the
patch is not rolled into the tarchives.

For information about the mailing lists, or to subscribe, send email
to majordomo@xinside.com - lists include accelx-announce for product
announcements, accelx-patches for updated modules, opengl-announce
and so on.  We hope that our active notification of problems and
solutions is a useful service; note that we are also prepared to
offer support to people using the demo Server.  The demo exists to
help us sell the Server, so the costs go into pre-sales support.

Cheers, JeremyC.
