3 HP OpenVMS I64 — Graphics Software Installation and Customization
This chapter provides information to install and modify the software required to support 2D graphics with the HP PCI AMD Radeon 7000 Graphics Adapter under the HP OpenVMS I64 operating system.
The HP PCI AMD Radeon 7000 Graphics Adapter is directly supported by HP OpenVMS I64 without additional software. Bug fixes and new feature support are supplied using the standard OpenVMS downloadable patch support mechanism, and with new versions of the operating system.
The behavior of the HP PCI AMD Radeon 7000 Graphics Adapter's support software may be modified after installation on OpenVMS by editing the appropriate files and issuing DCL commands (see “Multiple Graphics Cards Support” (page 15)).

The video mode selected should match your monitor's capabilities. In general, refresh rates below 70Hz are discouraged on CRT monitors, as they tend to show flicker based on the lighting source and surrounding equipment. Flat panel displays generally prefer a 60Hz refresh rate.
The available resolutions are monitor dependent.
The default video mode is 1024 x 768 @70Hz and 24 bits per pixel depth.
