There have been a couple questions posted about the Personal Iris that haven't received answers. Here is the information that I have on these topics.

True, this is a bug in the viewport code in 3.1C, which has been fixed in 3.1D. 3.1D should be available, it is the release currently being shipped on new units.

The Personal Iris display listable routines (move and draw) run at the same speed as the non-display listable routines (v3f, etc.), so this problem should not exist on the Personal Iris. I don't know for sure about the other non-GT architectures. Jim Bennett (bennett@sgi.com)
