1

Integrated GrayScale Graphics and Internal GrayScale Graphics is supported on high-resolution (1280×1024) for all Models specified above.

2

Integrated Color Graphics and Internal Color Graphics are supported on both medium-resolution (1024×768) and high-resolution (1280×1024) configurations of the Series 700 Models 705, 710, 712 (all models), and 715/33. High resolution is supported on all other Models specified above.

Multi-Display Support

The following definitions are included to help alleviate confusion between the terms multi-display, multi-screen, multi-seat, and single logical screen.

  • Multi-Display: A configuration with multiple graphics devices (displays) used concurrently. Any multi-seat or multi-screen configuration is referred to as a multi-display configuration.

  • Multi-Screen: A configuration in which a single X server with a mouse and keyboard drives multiple graphics devices (where each head is a different X11 screen) concurrently while only allowing the cursor, not windows, to be moved between heads.

  • Multi-Seat: A configuration with multiple instantiations of the X server, each with its own mouse, keyboard, and heads. Multi-seat is not supported on the HP-UX 9.0x release.

  • Single Logical Screen: A configuration in which a single X server with a single mouse and keyboard drives multiple homogeneous graphics devices (heads) concurrently while allowing the heads to emulate a large single screen. This differs from a multi-screen environment by allowing windows to be moved and displayed across heads. See the section in this document on Single Logical Screen.

Note that different monitor resolutions are not supported with multi-display configurations.

Multi-Screen Support

This section refers to multi-screen configurations only. Running one X server on more than one graphics display is called a "multi-screen" operation. The keyboard and pointer are shared among the screens. Multiple screens are enabled via the /usr/lib/X11/X*screens file. The X*screens file is used to configure the operation of the X server. The screens are defined in the X*screens file by specifying the appropriate special device files. See the section in this document on special device files and /usr/lib/X11/X0screens for more information.

A separate screen entry for each graphics display is entered in the X*screens file. The order of entries determines each screen number starting at 0. The devices can be arranged in any order.

For example, in the following multi-screen system, the screen numbers are assigned as indicated:

/dev/crt1     # first entry is screen 0 (as in local:0.0)
/dev/crt0 # second entry is screen 1 (as in local:0.1)
/dev/crt2 # third entry is screen 2 (as in local:0.2)

The X server supports up to four screens at a time. Specifying more than four screens will cause a server error message.
