2.4.1.1. REQUIREMENTS

HP UX 9.x or HP UX 10.x (using MOTIF 1.2 for GPHIGS_GUI)

One of the following graphic system:

- X11 Color server

- CRX

- CRX24

- CRX24 Z

- CRX48 Z

- VISUALIZE 24

- VISUALIZE 48

NB : The command graphinfo can be used to find the hardware configuration

All the following development environments:

- ANSI C

- X11 (GPHIGS Driver number 8887)

- Power shade

Option : HP PEX 1.0 PEX Lib 5.1 (GPHIGS PEX driver is optional)

If you are using a low-end CRX or Color Option graphics board, you should define the HP/UX variable SB_X_SHARED_CMAP as follows :

setenv SB_X_SHARED_CMAP TRUE

Or in /usr/vue/config/Xconfig file :

Vuelogin*environment: SB_X_SHARED_CMAP=true

If you using PEX, this tells to the windowing system and application to use a consistent color map for all applications. This helps prevent the "technicolor effect" where colors on the screen can change abruptly as the windowing system enables different color maps for different application. Under some circumstances you may need to define this variable before the VUE window manager starts up.

When you use G5G product on Color Option graphics board, you must also define the SB_710_VM_DB or HP_VM_DOUBLE_BUFFER environment variable to enable 8 bits double buffering. You can define this variable to any value, but we recommend the following :

setenv HP_VM_DOUBLE_BUFFER TRUE

or setenv SB_710_VM_DB TRUE

For more information about the G5G drivers see GPHIGS User guide
