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”

Example 1-1 Accessing fxe (rev-B) 3D capability

In your /etc/X11/XOscreens file:

Screen /dev/crt

ScreenOptions

EnableFxeGl1600
