1. The viewer currently has some issues regarding texture mapping with ATI Radeon graphics boards.

2. Laptops are designed for optimal display at the resolution of the LCD screen. For example, a UXGA LCD screen will not display images as clearly when set to SXGA resolution.

3. For optimal video performance with OpenGL and texture mapping when using an NVIDIA video card, it is recommended that you use the accellerated drivers provided by NVIDIA on their website.

4. Must set the environment variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to 2.4.1.

5. Earthvision is currently 32-bit only. The CPU must support 32-bit compatibility mode for Earthvision to work. It also requires either Taroon Update 4 or the libgdk, libgtk, and libpng libraries from a 32-bit system.

6. 3D stereo viewing requires NVIDIA Quadro® line of graphics cards and Elsa Revelator® glasses.

7. Both Exceed and Exceed3D (min. version 7.1) from Hummingbird are needed for EarthVision under Windows 2000/XP.
