HP-UX 10.20 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 informa-
tion about setting up multiple displays.
