Hmm, the only phone numbers that I have are for Matrox Electronics engineering and support folk. I have lots of numbers for Matrox Graphics, but that doesn't really help. I'll find out, probably on Monday. Accelerated-X Release 1.1 for FreeBSD is currently $99.50. Existing users may upgrade for the cost of shipping & handling rounded to whatever number Sales thinks is the right boundary (probably to next highest $5 boundary, if I know Sales staff at all). So, somewhere in the $5 to $15 region, I guess. Final price has not been announced, I think. It'll be somewhere in the range of current prices ($199 for commercial UNIX systems like SCO, ISC, Solaris, etc and $99.50 for Linux and FreeBSD promos). Extensions include: Standard-PEX (PEX 5.1 with Gouraud shading, and lots of bug fixes and performance enhancement) $100 Standard-XIE $100 Standard-XV with support for the Matrox Comet and Marvel II only, some libs and applications, $150. There may well be educational discounts and other stuff, before the release is shipped... Announcements will be made on our accelx-announce@xinside.com mailing list, and to various newsgroups and mailing lists (hello freebsd-announce readers!).
