hp VISUALIZE-FXE colormaps
HP VISUALIZE-FXE 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 two 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-FXE
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 setting, the setmon
command can be executed directly or done through the SAM/SMH system
administration tool.
The setmon executable is located at /opt/graphics/common/bin/setmon. Under
SAM/SMH this component is located under the top-level “Display” panel, under
“Monitor Configuration”.
NOTE: Changing the monitor type while the X Server is running will necessitate
killing and restarting the X Server.
