Installation was as easy as documented in their instructions: Just an
rpm installation that moves a lot of XFree stuff out of the way. Once I
got the config done correctly, I was extremely pleased with the display
performance. 1600x1200 of glorious 1400+ FPS video. Not amazing
performance maybe, but a lot better then I was getting with XFree86.
So far I haven't had any problems, except for some apps that use some
libMesa specific extensions that are not supported in the Summit products.
Removing it would be a simple rpm -e operation, but you cannot easily
toggle back and forth other than removing the package.
