1. Patch SG0001964 Release Note

       This release note describes patch SG0001964 to IRIX 6.2.

       Patch SG0001964 replaces patch SG0001431.

       For correct operation, this patch also requires graphics
       patch SG0001355 (for RealityEngine systems), or patch
       SG0001808 (for InfiniteReality systems).

       This patch contains bug fixes for Sirius Video when
       installed in Onyx/RealityEngine, Onyx/InfiniteReality, and
       Challenge systems.  The software cannot be installed on
       other configurations.

       This patch contains bug fixes for Sirius Video version 6.2
       (1232792139) on a system running Irix 6.2 with Patch
       SG0001808.  The software cannot be installed on other
       configurations.

       This patch contains fixes for the following bugs in IRIX
       6.2.  Bug numbers from Silicon Graphics bug tracking system
       are included for reference.

          o Bug 365217: Requesting mode support for Sirius on
            Infinite Reality.

          o Bug 365218: Field dominance support for Sirius on
            Infinite Reality.

          o Bug 439858: Sirius boards installed in the second and
            third pipes of a multi-headed InfiniteReality system
            are not found.

          o Bug 473848: Sirius boards installed in the second and
            third pipes of a multi-headed InfiniteReality system do
            not work with the graphics source node.

          o Bug 511153: graphics to video operation (live video
            output) on InfiniteReality with patch 1808 is sheared
            horizontally.

       This patch release includes these subsystems:

          o patchSG0001964.sirius_eoe.sw

       Because you want to install only the patches for problems
       you have encountered, patch software is not installed by
       default.  After reading the descriptions of the bugs fixed
       in this patch (see Section 1.3), determine the patches that
       meet your specific needs.

       If, after reading Sections 1.1 and 1.2 of these release
       notes, you are unsure whether your hardware and software
       meet the requirements for installing a particular patch, run
       inst.  The inst program does not allow you to install
       patches that are incompatible with your hardware or
       software.

       Patch software is installed like any other Silicon Graphics
       software product.  Follow the instructions in your Software
       Installation Administrator's Guide to bring up the miniroot
       form of the software installation tools.

       Follow these steps to select a patch for installation:

         1.  At the Inst> prompt, type

             install patchSGxxxxxxx

             where xxxxxxx is the patch number.

         2.  Initiate the installation sequence. Type

             Inst> go

         3.  You may find that two patches have been marked as
             incompatible.  (The installation tools reject an
             installation request if an incompatibility is
             detected.)  If this occurs, you must deselect one of
             the patches.

             Inst> keep patchSGxxxxxxx

             where xxxxxxx is the patch number.

         4.  After completing the installation process, exit the
             inst program by typing


             Inst> quit

       To remove a patch, use the versions remove command as you
       would for any other software subsystem.  The removal process
       reinstates the original version of software unless you have
       specifically removed the patch history from your system.

       versions remove patchSGxxxxxxx

       where xxxxxxx is the patch number.

       To keep a patch but increase your disk space, use the
       versions removehist command to remove the patch history.

       versions removehist patchSGxxxxxxx

       where xxxxxxx is the patch number.

No Requirements Information Available.

These checksums help to provide a 'signature' for the patch inst image which can be used to authenticate other inst images. You can obtain this kind of output by running sum -r on the image (from the command line):

00708      1   patchSG0001964
08497      6   patchSG0001964.idb
55148    665   patchSG0001964.sirius_sw
