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 VISUALIZEEG, 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 Note: Changing the monitor type while the X server is running will necessitate killing and restarting the X server Freedom Series Graphics Device-Dependent Information This sections describes support for the Freedom Series from Evans & Sutherland on Hewlett-Packard workstations. Note: The Freedom Series is no longer supported as of HP-UX 10.20 Workstation ACE (July, 1997); the information below is presented for those who are running previous versions of the operating system Supported Visuals The following visuals are supported: • Class PseudoColor Depth 8 Layer Overlay - Class PseudoColor Depth 8 Layer Image supports DBE and MBX hardware double-buffering • Class DirectColor Depth 24 Layer Image supports DBE and MBX hardware double-buffering • Class TrueColor Depth 24 Layer Image supports DBE and MBX hardware double-buffering Page 75 Graphics Administration Guide for HP-UX 10.20
