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.

Totake 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 /opt/graphics/common/bin/setmon -rv, the newer card will show the HPA4982B product number.

The HP Visualize fx5 2D/3D graphics accelerator card is a mid-level graphics card. The fx5 Pro features 64MB of SDRAM, a single geometry

accelerator ASIC and a single ASIC for rastering and texturing. The HP Visualize fx

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 downloading from the http://software.hp.com website. The 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.

For fxe, fx5 and fx10graphics cards, monitors with Enhanced Video Connector (EVC), D-Sub connectors or 5 BNC connectors (RGB, vertical sync, horizontal sync) will work.The HP Visualize fx family graphics card will not function with older HP monitor types that use a sync on green signal. This includes monitors such as the HP 1097A/B/ C/D, A2088A, and A2828A/B which only have 3 RGB connectors.

Introduction

Making Software and Device-Speciﬁc Changes

System Conﬁguration

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 newslot location and bootto 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 3 to ﬁnish booting to CDE or VUE.

Special Considerations

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 fx5 and fx10 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.

Chapter 114

Introduction

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:

http://www.software.hp.com/

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:

Higher Resolution 3D on fxe (rev-B) Card

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 choosing screen option “enableFxeGlx1600”

Checklist For Making Software Changes

1. Read this Entire Document It contains information for product installation conﬁguration.

2. Check the Available File System Space Before installing this product, make sure there is enough available

space in your ﬁle system in /opt/graphics. Your workstation needs at least 133 megabytes of available disk space for all ﬁle sets and patches.

3. Install the Latest Version of the Workstation ACE Software

Bundle and Graphics Bundle

Once you have installed the December 1999 (or later) Workstation ACE bundle (B6825AA) for HP-UX 10.20 or November 1999 for HP-UX 11.X; plus the graphics bundle (B6268A), you will have all the necessary software to support the fx family product.

Toinstall the ACE software or graphics bundle,execute the following command as root:

/usr/sbin/swinstall Choose the ACE software or graphics bundle and select Match What

Target Has in the Actions menu. Follow the standard procedure to load that software.

4. Install 3D Graphics Application Programming Interfaces

(APIs)

If you are using or planning to use any of the following products, you must install what you need from the HP-UX Developer’s CD. prior to installing the Texture Accelerator Kit software.

• Starbase Dev. Kit

• HP PEX lib Dev. Kit

• OpenGL Dev. Kit

• OpenGL Runtime

The OpenGL runtime libraries are available from the latest DART Release or by searching for OpenGL at the http://www.software.hp.com website

Chapter 116

Introduction

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. Verify that the Product Installation is Complete 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 thetexture-memory hardware. You will see a noticeable performance improvement in textured rendering after your texture-memory hardware has been installed.

Introduction

Fixing Common Installation Problems

This section describes how to ﬁx some common problems you may encounter while installing the HP Visualize graphics card.

Note that there are several system utilities that you can use to display or set the graphics conﬁguration for your workstation:

• /opt/graphics/common/bin/graphinfo allows you to display the current graphics conﬁguration and the graphics drivers that are being used.

• opt/graphics/common/bin/setmon allows you to reconﬁgure the monitor type.

• The Display menu of the HP-UX System Administration Manager (SAM) utility allows you to conﬁgure the X-server and set the monitor type.

• /opt/graphics/common/bin/setmon -V will display the ﬁrmware revision of the graphics card.

Monitor Does Not Display

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.

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-server or CDE Does Not Come Up or Recognize the Graphics Card

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 newslot location and bootto 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
