HP VISUALIZE-FXE/5/10 Colormaps

HP VISUALIZE-FXE/5/10 devices have a total of 4 hardware colormaps. 2 of the colormaps are dedicated to the overlay planes. The remaining 2 colormaps are dedicated to the image planes.

Of the 2 overlay colormaps, one is permanently reserved for the default colormap. The other overlay colormap is available to applications.

Changing the Monitor Type

A configuration tool is available to change the monitor type on HP VISUALIZE-FX, HP VISUALIZE- EG, and HP VISUALIZE-FXE/5/10 devices. This tool permits users to change the monitor's refresh rate, frame buffer resolution, and frame buffer memory configuration (e.g., Stereo, Double Buffer), when the device supports multiple options. To change the monitor type, the setmon command can be executed directly or done through the SAM system administration tool.

The setmon executable is located at /opt/graphics/common/bin/setmon. Under SAM this component is located under the top-level "Display" folder, next tothe "X Server Configuration" icon.
