Introduction
Prerequisites
Making Software and Device-Specific Changes
System Configuration
For important information on configuring your system for your HP VISUALIZE fxe
graphics card, refer to your workstation Owner's Guide and your HP-UX
documentation. If you are installing a multiple-display system and you will be using
the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), refer to the Common Desktop
Environment User's Guide for important configuration information. If you will be
using HP VUE instead, refer to the HP Visual User Environment User's Guide.
Special Considerations
To ensure that your workstation has the most up-to-date core operating system
software, it is recommended that the most recent release of the Additional Core
Enhancement (ACE) software bundle be installed. In addition, if your applications
are based on HP's implementation of OpenGL runtime libraries, it is highly
recommended that you update your HP implementation of the OpenGL runtime
libraries from the September 1999 (or later) application release, or from the
Hewlett-Packard web-site.
If you do not have the CD-ROMs that contain the latest release of ACE and the
Quality Pack or HP's implementation of the OpenGL runtime libraries, you can
download them from the Hewlett-Packard website at this URL:
http://www.software.hp.com/
For information on installing ACE and HP's implementation of the OpenGL runtime
libraries, read the documents provided with those products.
Steps for Making Software Changes
Each step is described below.
1. Read this Entire Document
Read all of this document. It contains information for product installation.
2. Check the Available File System Space
Before installing this product, make sure there is enough available space in your
file system in /opt/graphics. Your workstation needs at least 133 MB of
available disk space for all filesets and patches.
