Multi-Display Systems

HP-UX 10.10 and later supports up to three monitors simultaneously. To have more than one display on your system, you must have multiple graphics capability installed. Four architectures support multi-display systems:

On-board graphics and an expansion kit with one or two GSC graphics cards installed (one, two, or three displays).

On-board graphics and an HCRX board with or without a GSC graph- ics card installed (one, two, or three displays).

No on-board graphics and an expansion kit with one or two GSC graphics cards installed (one or two displays).

No on-board graphics and an HCRX graphics board with a GSC graphics card installed (one or two displays).

See the Graphics Administration Guide (B2355-90109) for more information about setting up multiple displays.
