    However, some of these aspects were not unique to Starbase, they pertained to graphics operation in general: they applied to all of our APIs. Therefore, those users who had HP-PHIGS would be encountering some of the same graphical questions that were already well-documented in the Starbase documentation.

    Specifying this server option forces all extensions to be loaded at X server startup. Immediate loading of X extensions is the historical behavior of the HP-UX 10.10 and 10.20 X servers. The 10.20 X Server patches shipped after July, 1997 and all 11.00 versions of the X Server perform delayed loading of the X extensions.

  • Page 30: Miscellaneous Topics

    Note: MBX (the Multi-Buffering eXtension to X) has not been adopted as an industry standard, as DBE has. Thus, it is recommended that applications that use MBX be ported to DBE usage in preparation for future MBX obsolescence (HP-UX 11.0). For more information about DBE and the API, consult the DBE man pages:...

  • Page 31: Display Power Management Signaling (Dpms)

    The X server features the ability to make use of DPMS on the following graphics devices: • HP VISUALIZE-EG • HCRX-8[Z], HCRX-24[Z] • HP VISUALIZE-8, HP VISUALIZE-24, and HP VISUALIZE-48[XP]. • HP VISUALIZE-FX , HP VISUALIZE-FX • HP VISUALIZE-FX and FX •...

  • Page 32: Mbx

    8-plane buffer; this includes the color graphics device and the overlay planes on the CRX-24[Z], CRX-48Z, HCRX, and HP VISUALIZE family. For these devices, MBX double-buffering is still supported, but the second bank is allocated in virtual memory. Rendering and buffer-swapping in these instances is slower than devices/visuals that support true hardware double- buffering.

  • Page 33: Shared Memory Extension (Mit_Shm)

    Manual by Tom Gaskins, and published by O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. Consult that manual to understand the creation, manipulation, and destruction of MBX buffers. Since MBX is not an industry standard, and will be discontinued on HP-UX 11.0, developers should replace MBX calls with the appropriate DBE calls.

  • Page 35: Performance Tuning Of Smt

    A display name of the form unix:0.0 will force the use of Unix Domain Sockets (UDS), which is identical to the local transport used before HP-UX 10.20. A display name of the form nn.nn.nn.nn:0.0 (where nn.nn.nn.nn is an IP address) will force the use of Internet Sockets, which is the remote transport normally used, and which can be used locally.

    Access to the Color Recovery capability is transparent when using a 3D graphics API such as Starbase, HP-PHIGS or PEX. If you are producing graphics using Xlib calls, your application must perform some of the necessary processing. The method to access Color Recovery via Xlib is described in a section called "Accessing HP Color Recovery Technology via Xlib"...

    GetImage behavior is to include the depth-dependant contents of inferior windows (in other words, GetImage requires that IncludeInferiors work properly). As of the 10.10 release, HP has offered a solution to the IncludeInferiors defect. Some customers create their test image archives using XGetImage (which currently returns incorrect data for multi-layer and double-buffered devices).

  • Page 45: Multi-Screen Support

    The list of supported multi-display configurations is rather large, and it changes whenever a new graphics device is introduced. Thus, if you are considering a Single Logical Screen or any other multi- display configuration, we recommend consulting your HP Sales Representative and inquiring whether the configuration you have in mind is indeed supported.
  • Page 46 Note: The on-board and "card" versions of the same device can be considered identical; for example, you could use an on-board HP VISUALIZE-EG graphics device and an HP VISUALIZE-EG graphics card, and still consider them identical devices, thus permitting a 1X2 SLS or a 2X1 SLS.
  • Page 47 3D Acceleration and Single Logical Screen Currently, SLS does not take advantage of 3D acceleration (e.g. CRX-24Z). 3D applications (from any supported HP 3D API) will continue to run with SLS; However, 3D performance with SLS will be much slower than it is without SLS.

  • Page 48: Distributed Single Logical Screen (Sls/D)

    This behavior is the result of HP VUE's naive assumption that it is running against one large screen; it centers these windows accordingly.

    Double-Buffer mode is compatible with the HCRX-8 device. This mode requires an optional memory daughter card. If the daughter card is installed, selecting this mode will result in eight overlay planes and 16 image planes (the same as HCRX-8 and HP VISUALIZE-8 devices). Double-Buffer mode allows the use of hardware double-buffering.
  • Page 61 For applications that require transparent overlay windows on the HCRX-8[Z], HP VISUALIZE-EG(D) or HP VISUALIZE-8, an optional X server mode is available to allow for overlay transparency, but it is restrictive. In this optional mode, overlay colormaps provide a single entry that can be used to render transparency.

However, if the grmd dies for some reason, the graphics libraries will restart the daemon whenever they need shared memory.
