HP VISUALIZE fxe, fx5 and fx10 Graphics Family E0601 manual

	Introduction
	The HP A4982A Visualize fxe card is an entry level, 2D/3D graphics card
	with 18 Mbytes of SGRAM. It provides analog video only through a
	standard 15-pin miniature D-sub connector.
	The A4982B version of the HP Visualize fxe card (above) has 24 Mbytes
	of SDRAM and features an available texture memory at 1280 x 1024
	resolution of 9.5 Mbytes instead of the 3.5 MBytes for the A4982A. The
	two cards are fully pixel compatible. Applications qualified to run on the
	rev-A card will run without difference on the rev-b card.
	The extra memory provided by the A4982B card allows 1600x1200 and
	1600x1024 resolutions previously only supported on 2D. Due to the
	change in memory type (from SGRAM to SDRAM) some applications
	may see some interactive windowing operations (for example moving
	opaque windows) run slightly slower. A new revision of the X server will
	minimize these problems. For HP-UX 10.20 users, get patch
	PHSS_23535 or its replacement; for HP-UX 11.x users, get PHSS_23546
	or its replacement.
	To take advantage of the increased resolution provided by the rev-b card,
	see page 15 for instructions.
	To determine which fxe card is in your Workstation, check the following
NOTE
	file: /opt/graphics/common/bin/graphinfo - under
	CONFIGURATION INFORMATION, the line ‘Total framebuffer
	memory’ will show 24 Mbytes for the rev-b card and 18 Mbtyes for the
	rev-a card. If you execute /opt/graphics/common/bin/setmon -rv, the
	newer card will show the HPA4982B product number.
	The HP Visualize fx5 2D/3D graphics accelerator card is a mid-level
	graphics card. The fx5 Pro features 64MB of SDRAM, a single geometry
	accelerator ASIC and a single ASIC for rastering and texturing.
	The HP Visualize fx10a 2D/3D graphics accelerator card is an high-end
	graphics card. The fx10a Pro features dual geometry accelerator ASIC's,
	and a single rastering and texturing ASIC
	The HP Visualize fx10b 2D/3D graphics accelerator card is also an
	high-end graphics card. The fx10b Pro features 128 Mbytes of DDR RAM,
	dual geometry accelerator ASIC's, and a single rastering and texturing
	ASIC. It replaces the fx10a as of November 2000.
