HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2.1 Hardware Configurations Supported

The Raptor graphics cards have been tested on and currently
supports the following PCI based HP workstations/servers running in
single and multi-screen configurations .

• HP B-class

• HP C-class

• HP J-class

The Section 2.2 discusses the installation of the various Raptor
cards in the host machine (HP workstation/server.) The Raptor flat
panel subsystems have additional instructions on how to connect the
graphics card to the DFP (digital flat panel.) These are discussed in
Section 2. 3.

2.2 Installation of All Raptor Graphics Cards

The Raptor card installation is simple and consists of a few easy
steps.

NOTE: Remember which cables go to which connectors. You may
want to label the c ables and connectors before disconnecting them.

Step 1: Shut down the system, turn the power OFF, remove

the system’s cover, find an available PCI Local Bus
slot, and remove the bracket and screw. Ground
yourself by touching the metal part on the case.

2-1

Raptor Drivers for HP -UX Installation and Reference Manual

Step 2: Install the Raptor card firmly into the PCI Local Bus

slot. Take care to press it evenly and snugly into
the slot. Once you are certain the card is installed
properly in the slot, secure it with the bracket
screw.

Step 3: Secure the system’s cover, attach any previously

removed cables, and connect the video cable to
your monitor.

The Raptor card is now installed and the system is ready for software
installation as discussed in Chapter 3. If installing a display
subsystem (one of the Raptor FPS products), please read Section

2.3.

NOTE: At most, one Raptor card can be installed in a 64-bit PCI slot
on a HP C-360 workstation. If multiple Raptor cards are required,
install remaining cards into 32-bit slots.

Chapter 2 – Hardware Installation

Tech Source offers two flat panel subsystems: the Raptor 2100FPS
with a resolution of 2048x2048 (4MP), and the Raptor 2500FPS with
a resolution of 2560x2048 (5MP). Each subsystem is comprised of
one LCD flat panel (4MP or 5MP), one Raptor 2500T-DL graphics
card, and a standard Dual-Link DVI cable to connect them together.

On the back of the Raptor LCD panel are two DVI inputs, labeled A
and B. Plug the Dual-Link cable into either port. Optionally, connect
a second Raptor 2500T-DL card to the remaining port. Select
which signal to display by accessing the OSD (on-screen display) or
by sending the appropriate signals to the panel's RS232 interface.

Chapter 4

INVOKING X WINDOWS

4.1 Overview

There are several ways to invoke X Windows on your system:

• startx

• xinit

• Common Desktop Environment (CDE)

This section assumes the use of the csh environment. If you prefer
a different shell, make the appropriate changes from the examples.

All of the examples in this section use the device names /dev
/raptor0 and /dev/rap1kt0. Your device name may differ,
depending on the card type and instance number. Please refer to
Section 3.3 for specific device names.

4.2 Configuring X Windows

4.2.1 Single Screen Mode

Under HP -UX, the devices that X Windows will use are configured in
the file /etc/X11/X0screens. This file is used by the X Server
regardless of how it is invoked (e.g. startx, xinit, CDE, etc). Edit
the file /etc/X11/X0screens to configure display 0. For display
1 you would edit /etc/X11/X1screens.

This section assumes that display 0 is to be configured. To run X
Windows on the Raptor card only, comment out /dev/crt in
/etc/X11/X0screens by placing a '#' at the beginning of that
line, and add the Raptor device by entering Screen
/dev/raptor0 on a new line:

4-1

Raptor Drivers for HP -UX Installation and Reference Manual

#Screen /dev/crt
Screen /dev/raptor0

4.2.2 Multi-Screen Mode

To run X Windows on the console and the Raptor card, list the
devices in the order you wish to register them with X. The first device
listed will be screen :0.0; the next, screen :0.1.

Screen /dev/crt
Screen /dev/raptor0

X Windows can also be run on two Raptor cards. For example to set
up Raptor 2000 as screen 0 and Raptor 1100T as screen 1
(display0) edit the X0screens file as follows:

Screen /dev/raptor0
Screen /dev/rap1kt0

NOTE: Multi-screen mode can be used on multiple Raptor cards only
if the cards are not of the same type.

4.3 Setting Bit-Depth and Resolution

4.3.1 Setting Bit-Depth

The Raptor 2000 supports 8-bit PseudoColor mode only. Raptor
1100T, Raptor 2100T and Raptor 2500T support the following bit­depths:

8 8-bit PseudoColor
24 24-bit TrueColor
8+24 Simultaneous 8-bit PseudoColor and 24-bit

TrueColor

4-2

Chapter 4 – Invoking X Windows

8+8 Two 8-bit PseudoColor visuals

By default X Windows comes up in 8-bit mode on all Raptor cards.
There are two ways to set bit-depth:

• By editing the config file /var/X11/TSIScreenConfig

• By setting the environment variable STARSMODE

The default visual in 8+24-bit mode is PseudoColor. In order to set
the default visual in the 8+24-bit mode to TrueColor, the
/etc/X11/X0screens file needs to be modified. The example
below shows how to set the default visual to TrueColor for the card

rap1kt0.

Screen /dev/rap1kt0

DefaultVisual

Class TrueColor

NOTE: This method of setting the default visual has an effect only in
the 8+24-bit mode.

4.3.1.1 Config File

The depth and resolution of the Raptor card can be set using the
/var/X11/TSIScreenConfig file. Each row in the file
corresponds to a specific Raptor card that is identified by its device
name. The fields in each row are separated by spaces. In the
sample config file shown below the bit-depth of the Raptor 1100T
(rap1kt0) card is set to 8+24. The cached pixmap field is used for
debugging purposes only and should always be set to 1. The other
fields are discussed in 4.3.2.

# device Depth Resolution Sync Cached Resfile
pixmap
rap1kt0 8+24 DEFAULT 1 1 trzresinfo

4-3

Raptor Drivers for HP -UX Installation and Reference Manual

4.3.1.2 STARSMODE Variable

The bit-depth of the Raptor card can be set using the STARSMODE
environment variable. This variable should be set before starting up
the X server.

For example, set the bit-depth of the Raptor card to 8+24

#setenv STARSMODE +8+24

To set the bit-depth of the Raptor card to 8+8
#setenv STARSMODE +8+8

Other bit-depths can be selected in a similar manner.
In a multi-screen configuration of Raptor cards, this method will set

the bit-depth of all the screens to the same value.
NOTE: In the case when both the methods to set bit-depth are used,

the STARSMODE variable takes precedence over the settings in the
TSIScreenConfig file.

4.3.2 Setting the Resolution

The resolution of the Raptor 2000 and Raptor 2100T cards is fixed at
2048x2048. The resolution of the Raptor 2500T is confi gured at the
time of manufacture to be either 2560x2048 or 2048x2048. The
Raptor 1100T supports multiple resolutions.

The resolution of the Raptor 1100T card can be changed by editing
the config file /var/X11/TSIScreenConfig. By default, the
resolution of this card is set to 1920x1080. Each row in the config
file corresponds to a Raptor card that is identified by its device name.
The fields in each row are separated by spaces. The resfile field
specifies the file that contains a list of available resolutions and the
corresponding timing numbers. Normally, this file is called
trzresinfo and is located in /var/X11. The cached pixmap field
is used for debugging purposes only and should always be set to 1.

4-4

Chapter 4 – Invoking X Windows

The resolution field should contain the name of a resolution from
the resfile. The sync field can be used to specify a sync flag. If it
is set to 1, the sync flag will default to the value specified in the
resfile. An explanation of the various sync flags can be found in
the trzresinfo file.

In this example config file, the resolution of the Raptor 1100T card is
set to 800X600X60.

# device Depth Resolution Sync Cached Resfile
pixmap
rap1kt0 8 800X600X60 1 1 trzresinfo

4.4 startx

This is the easiest way to start up the X Window System server. The
startx script is provided in /usr/contrib/bin/X11 directory.

To start up the X server in the default mode type:

prompt% startx

You may add command line arguments to the end of the line.

4.5 xinit

The xinit program can be directly used to start the X Window
System server. The xinit format is as follows:

xinit [[client] options] [ -- [server]

[display] options ]

If no specific client program is given on the command line, xinit
will look for a file in the user's home directory called .xinitrc to
run as a shell script to start up client programs. If no such file

4-5

Raptor Drivers for HP -UX Installation and Reference Manual

exists, xinit will use the following as a default:

xterm -geometry +1+1 -n login \

-display :0

If no specific server program is given on the command line, xinit
will look for a file in the user's home directory called .xserverrc to
run as a shell script to start up the server. If no such file exists,

xinit will use the following as a default:

X :0

Note that this assumes that there is a program named X in the
current search path.

To startup the server using xinit, type:

prompt% xinit -- /usr/bin/X11/X

You may also add any other command line arguments to the end of

independent of the Raptor software. In order to use CDE, you need
to configure only the X0screen file. See Section 4.2 for configuring
the file /etc/X11/X0screens.

CDE can be started by typing:
