Software Installation and
Customization
This chapter provides information for installing and modifying the software required to
support 2D (two-dimensional) and 3D graphics with the ATI RADEON 7500 AGP and PCI
graphics controllers under the hp OpenVMS Alpha operating system.
The method used to load the software is directly dependent on the version of OpenVMS
Alpha that you will be installing or upgrading to. Section 4.2, Installation, explains in detail
the steps that must be taken for each of the different OpenVMS Alpha versions.
The behavior of the ATI RADEON 7500 AGP and PCI graphics controllers' support
software may be modified after installation on OpenVMS by editing the appropriate files
and issuing DCL commands. (See Section 4.5.3.)
