Driver Support For The Linux Enterprise
Chico, California -- (June 6, 2005) -- SciTech Software, Inc.
today announced that it has released SciTech SNAP Graphics
3.0 for Linux. This release is based on SciTech’s well
proven SNAP (System Neutral Access Protocol) architecture and
targets the Linux enterprise markets with a host of features
designed to improve Linux adoption on the corporate enterprise
and reduce the total cost of ownership associated with maintaining
Linux clients on the corporate enterprise.
SciTech SNAP Graphics for Linux 3.0 offers support for XFree86
(4.2.0 – 4.4.0) and now includes advanced support for
the latest X.org (6.7 - 6.8) releases, all in the same easy
to install and use package. SciTech SNAP Graphics delivers
advanced
2D
acceleration for business users, Plug-N-Play support for hundreds
of graphics cards and now provides advanced XVideo acceleration
for ATI’s desktop and mobile graphics processor, making
enterprise wide deployment and management easier and more powerful
than ever. Also new in this release are features designed to
improve support for mobile users including the enablement of
Hot-key display switching, a feature which is currently lacking
in the base level Linux drivers provided by the OS venders.
"In support of our customers needs and in concert with our industry
partners, SciTech has expanded not only the breadth of support
offered by SciTech SNAP Graphics, but also improved its usefulness
with the addition of Video Acceleration on ATI’s Desktop
and Mobile chipsets”, said Andrew Bloo, Director of Sales
and Marketing for SciTech Software Inc. “With SciTech
SNAP Graphics ENT 3.0 we have created a powerful, ‘install-and-forget’ solution
