I have installed SGI patch 3171 into the IRIX 6.2 os and install
read/write volumes in the dev cell; this patch is required to run the
Quanta 98 application on 6.2 Indy's. The release notes for the patch
state that it fixes the following:
o Incident #401837 - Express graphics crashes on pacecar.
o Bug #439592 - n3f command causes segmentation fault in
N32 IrisGL.
o Bug #445775 - Support for purify and pixie in N32
OpenGL.
o Bug #459918 - Wide depth-buffered points cause
segmentation fault in N32 OpenGL.
o Bug #457193 - glDepthMask(GL_FALSE) and
glPointSize(>=2) fails
o Bug #509186 - Triangle meshes causes segmentation fault
when concave polygons are enabled in N32 IrisGL.
o Bug #534969 - Kernel panic after glCopyPixels in
OpenGL.
o Bug #444017 - images fail to install N32/mips3 verions
of libgl for dual head ip22 EX/XL
o Bug #615516 - irisgl texture sampling broken
The following volumes will need to be released at the appropriate
time (mount points relative to /afs/dev/system/sgi_62/):
Name Mount
---- -----
system.sgi_62.os os
system.sgi_62.usr os/usr
system.sgi_62.lib os/usr/lib
system.sgi_62.share os/usr/share
system.sgi_62.debug os/usr/lib/debug
system.sgi_62.lib32 os/usr/lib32
system.sgi_62.sbin os/usr/sbin
system.sgi_62.perf os/usr/share/Performer
system.sgi_62.inst install
Note that I raised the quota on the install volume, system.sgi_62.inst,
from 400000 to 420000, to ensure space for the new patch. This new
quota should get propagated to the volume in the Athena cell as
appropriate.
