Installing and Configuring the HP VISUALIZE fx6 Driver

Installing and Configuring the HP VISUALIZE fx6 Driver

An OpenGL video driver is available for HP VISUALIZE fx6 video board for
use under Windows NT4.0 only. Without the appropriate drivers, the PC
Workstation will only operate in VGA mode, meaning that the 3D hardware
accessory will not be available.

NOTE

Video drivers are regularly updated by Hewlett-Packard for feature and
performance improvements. When installing a driver, or diagnosing an error,
you are strongly recommended to check that you have the latest driver
version. These can be found on the HP World Wide Web site:

Installing the OpenGL Video Driver

Installation of the driver is done through the standard process:

Display Properties / Settings / Display Type

To check the driver version, click the About tab in the Display Properties
dialog box.
