Chapter 5
105
This new, high-end, full-featured 3D graphics card provides 3D support for OpenGL,
similar to the Visualize-FX10 feature set, with the exception of multi-screen support,
which FireGL-UX does not provide. It also provides, via the X server and Xlib, 2D
features comparable to those of the Visualize-FX10.
FireGL-UX is supported on these systems:
• C3650, C3700, C3750
• J6000, J6700, J6750
new at 11i original
release
In addition to the many existing graphics cards, HP-UX 11i v1 now supports the HP
VISUALIZE-fxe card. This new entry-level, low cost, full-featured 3D graphics card
replaces the VISUALIZE-fx
2
card for 3D applications and the VISUALIZE-EG card for
2D applications.
HP VISUALIZE-fxe provides 3D support for OpenGL, Starbase, HP PEXlib and
HP-PHIGS 3D APIs, with a full VISUALIZE-fx
2
-like feature set. It also provides 2D
features via the X server and Xlib comparable to those of the VISUALIZE-fx
2
and
VISUALIZE-EG products.
HP VISUALIZE-fxe is supported on these systems:
• B180L (2D X libraries only; 3D supported only via VMX/VMD)
• B1000, B2000
• C3000, C3600
• J5000, J5600, J6000, J7000
HP VISUALIZE-fxe is not supported on the C360 workstation.

Workstation Tuned Kernel Parameters
updated for June
2001
As of the June 2001 release, kernel parameters for CAE and EE Engineering
workstation kernels will be optimized during the installation or update. If the system is
installed or updated using Ignite-UX (IUX), this occurs automatically.
1
If you install or
update manually, the optimization only occurs after you select one of the new
engineering workstation kernel sets via SAM.
On factory Instant Ignition, IUX will install workstation systems with optimized default
kernel parameter settings as long as the system has at least 64MB of RAM. The new
defaults are optimized for general performance and are tailored appropriately for a
32-bit or 64-bit kernel. (The default parameter settings for each set are listed at the end
of this section.) The larger maxdsiz limit for 64-bit installations now allows users to take
advantage of the increased (approximately 3GB) process data space available with the
June 2001 release.
Also on factory Instant Ignition, IUX automatically configures the kernel with the
appropriate new CAE kernel parameter set:
