Introduction
The HP A4982A Visualize fxe card is an entry level, 2D/3D graphics card
with 18 Mbytes of SGRAM. It provides analog video only through a
standard 15-pin miniature D-sub connector.
The A4982B version of the HP Visualize fxe card (above) has 24 Mbytes
of SDRAM and features an available texture memory at 1280 x 1024
resolution of 9.5 Mbytes instead of the 3.5 MBytes for the A4982A. The
two cards are fully pixel compatible. Applications qualified to run on the
rev-A card will run without difference on the rev-b card.
The extra memory provided by the A4982B card allows 1600x1200 and
1600x1024 resolutions previously only supported on 2D. Due to the
change in memory type (from SGRAM to SDRAM) some applications
may see some interactive windowing operations (for example moving
opaque windows) run slightly slower. A new revision of the X server will
minimize these problems. For HP-UX 10.20 users, get patch
PHSS_23535 or its replacement; for HP-UX 11.x users, get PHSS_23546
or its replacement.
To take advantage of the increased resolution provided by the rev-b card,
see page 15 for instructions.
NOTE
To determine which fxe card is in your Workstation, check the following
file: /opt/graphics/common/bin/graphinfo- under
CONFIGURATION INFORMATION, the line ‘Total framebuffer
memory’ will show 24 Mbytes for the rev-b card and 18 Mbtyes for the
rev-a card. If you execute /op t/gr a p h ics/com m on /bin /setm on -r v, the
newer card will show the HPA4982B product number.

P r er equ isites
To support the HP Visualize fx family of graphics cards, your workstation
must meet the following prerequisites:
1. Your workstation must be running one of the following versions of the
HP-UX operating system and have the appropriate Additional Core
Enhancement (ACE) software bundle and Workstation Quality Pack
installed:
•
•
•
HP-UX revision 10.20 with the ACE software bundle (December
1999 or later) and the B6825AA graphics bundle or
HP-UX revision 11.00 with the ACE software bundle (November
1999 or later) and the B6268 graphics bundle plus
an HP Visualize fx family graphics card installed.
2. To verify that the proper ACE software bundle is installed on your
workstation:
At a command prompt, type:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle | grep ACE
Scan the output for the following ACE software bundles:

Introduction
Prerequisites
revision date that is listed in the output may be later than the one
shown above. For example, if the ACE revision date listed for HP-UX
10.20 is later than December 1999, then the proper ACE software
bundle is installed on your workstation for Visualize fx products.
If you are not running HP-UX, revision 10.20 or 11.0 with these ACE
bundles or a later release, you need to update your software before
installing your graphics card. Contact your designated service
representative for information on receiving an update. The ACE
software bundles and Quality Packs are also available for
bundles will require approximately 133 Mb of disk space.
3. You must have an HP-supported monitor running at 75Hz with a
1280X1024 resolution, or a full multimode color monitor.

System Con figu r a tion
For important information on configuring your system for your graphics
option (for example, creating a device file with mknod), refer to your
workstation and HP-UX documentation. If you are installing a
multiple-display system and you will be using the Common Desktop
Environment (CDE), you will need to refer to the Common Desktop
Environment User's Guide for important configuration information. If
you will be using HP VUE, see the HP Visual User Environment User's
Guide.
If you are adding a new graphics card or moving a current one to a new
slot location, you will need to reconfigure some HP-UX device files. Begin
by deleting the old device files for the old card location and create new
ones for the new slot location. Follow these steps in order for HP-UX to
recognize the new card location or graphics card:
1. Place the new card in the new slot location and boot to HP-UX. It will
not boot into CDE or VUE, but will allow you to login at the command
line level as root.
2. Delete the old graphics card files as the super user by typing
rm /dev/crt*
3. Create the new device files by typing
insf -ev
4. Type init 3to finish booting to CDE or VUE.
Sp ecia l Con sid er a tion s
To make sure that your system has the most up-to-date core software, it
is recommended that the most recent release of the Workstation
Additional Core Enhancements (ACE) starting from December 1999 be

installed. The graphics bundles containing the fx and fx drivers must
also be installed; B6825A for HP-UX 10.20 ACE5 or B6268AA for HP-UX
11.X. In addition, if your applications are based on HP’s implementation
of OpenGL Runtime Libraries, it is highly recommended that you update
these Libraries from the June 200 (or later) Application Release from the
HP website.

Making Software and Device-Specific Changes
If you do not have the CD-ROM's that contain the latest Workstation
ACE release or HP's implementation of the OpenGL runtime libraries,
you can download them from the Hewlett-Packard website using this
URL:
For information on installing Workstation ACE and HP's
implementation of the OpenGL runtime libraries, read the documents
provided with those products or go to:
High er Resolu tion 3D on fxe (r ev-B) Ca r d
To take advantage of the higher resolution offered by the newer fxe
(rev-B) card, make sure you have an up-to-date version of the 3D
graphics libraries. For HP-UX 10.20 systems, you’ll need patches
PHSS_22595 - PHSS_22603 or their replacements. For HP-UX 11.x
systems, you’ll need patches PHSS_22604 - PHSS_22614 or their
replacements.
The X server will create the needed visuals for the fxe (rev-b) card (not
supported on the rev-a card). The new 3D capability is only accessible by

Checklist For Making Software Changes
To determine whether these products are properly installed, try
compiling and running an application on your system that uses
one of the above Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
Check: /var/adm/sw/swinstall.log
•
Once you have completed the API installation process, look at the
contents of the file /var/adm/sw/swinstall.log.This file
identifies the filesets loaded, identifies the customize scripts that
ran during the installation process, and includes informative
messages. Error messages that resulted from attempts to write
across an NFS mount point will appear in this file and may be
ignored.
5. Ver ify th a t th e P r od u ct In sta lla tion is Com p lete
An easy way to verify that your installation is complete, is to compile,
link and run one of your existing Application Programming Interface
(API) programs (that is, programs created using HP's implementation
of OpenGL, Starbase, or HP PEX). If you do not have an existing
program, then make sure that you install the demonstration filesets
that comes with your API. When you or your system administrator
have properly installed these filesets, one or more of the following
demo directories will be created:
• /opt/graphics/OpenGL/demos
• /opt/graphics/PEX5/demos
• /opt/graphics/Starbase/demos
You can run any of the texture-mapping programs in these directories
to verify that the installation is complete. When running the texture
demos, notice the performance prior to installing the texture-memory
hardware. You will see a noticeable performance improvement in
textured rendering after your texture-memory hardware has been
installed.

NOTE
Older monitors that have only 3 RGB connectors will not function with
the HP Visualize fxe graphics card because these monitors have no sync
input except by sync on green. For more information, see the
Prerequisites section earlier in this manual.
If the monitor is not displaying on powering up, the system console may
not yet recognize the new graphics card. Perform the following steps to
reconfigure the system console so that it recognizes the new card:
1. Force the system to set the default console to a serial terminal on
com1 by disconnecting the keyboard from the system and recycling
power.
2. Interrupt the boot up sequence and wait until the Boot Console
Handler prompt is displayed, then move to the configuration menu by
typing co.

3. Display what graphics cards the system console recognizes by typing:
mo graphics list
4. Select the monitor type by typing:
mo graphics(N) # type
where N = card slot, and # = monitor type
5. Set the console path to the graphics card by typing:
pa co graphics(N)
6. Reconnect the keyboard to the system and cycle the system’s power.
The system console should now display.
System ’s X-ser ver or CDE Does Not Com e Up
or Recogn ize th e Gr a p h ics Ca r d
If the system’s X-server or CDE will not come up or recognize the new
graphics card, the HP-UX device files may not yet be set up. If you added
a new graphics card or moved a current one to a new slot location, you
may need to reconfigure some device files. Follow these steps in order for
HP-UX to recognize the new graphics card or new card location:
1. Place the new card in the new slot location and boot to HP-UX. It will
not boot into CDE or HP VUE, but it will allow you to login at the
command line level as root.
2. Delete the old device files by typing:
rm /dev/crt*
3. Create the new device files by typing:
insf -ev
4. Finish booting to CDE or HP VUE by typing:
init 3
