The Administrator panel is only available if the user has
administrator privileges. From this panel the administrator can
enable the user to access the Gamma Correction and Options panels
and allow the user to change and save the HP VISUALIZE fx6
Custom configuration.

This option causes GDI (NT Graphics Device Interface) to draw to both
the physical front and back buffers. This is useful for applications which
use GDI to draw in an OpenGL window.
This option MUST be disabled for 2D benchmarking purposes.
Applications which fail to conform to the OpenGL standard, by creating
non planar quad strips, may render incorrectly with this driver. This
option causes quad strips to be converted to triangle strips, so that the
geometry will render correctly.
Color recovery uses patented HP technology and is unique to VISUALIZE
boards. It generates near true color quality images from 8-bit or 12-bit
source in OpenGL contexts, without the grainy or patterned effect of 8-
bit dithering.
When this option is set, stereo timing is enabled on the video output port
and stereo pixel formats are made available to applications. Note that
stereo timing is only supported in True Color screen formats less than
1600x1200 in resolution. Additionally, the stereo effect is greatly
enhanced at higher refresh rates, for example, 120 Hz. Finally, note that
the stereo effect will only be visible when using appropriate
stereographic glasses or headsets.
When this option is set, texture mapping becomes NOOP (NO OPeration).
All texture commands sent by an application are ignored.
If the texture module is not installed, setting this option can be useful to
simulate the board performance with the texture module installed.
However, visual results are poor, and actual hardware acceleration with
the texture module will be slightly slower than this simulated
performance.
