OldSpiceAP 0 Posted September 15, 2005 Hey all, I ran across a computer the other day - I got it for free as it was dead. Opening it up I noticed a very cool videocard. The machine is an HP Visualize X-Class, and the videocard works fine. Some google research showed me that the videcard was an HP Visualize FX5, This card according to all my research had 4 dedicated opengl accelerators, hence the 4 massive heat sinks. HP used to provide an xserver and a kernel module driver, but all links to them seem to be broken. The card simpply gets detected as a Matrox MGA200, and the performance is terrible. I need to find some drivers for this card, and considering they were designed with linux support in mind I'd think this would be easy to find, and yet they are not at all, any suggestions?

danleff 0 Posted September 15, 2005 The specs for the card are located here. Do a Google search on linux Visualize FX5 and you should get some hits. Share this post Link to post
OldSpiceAP 0 Posted September 16, 2005 That was one of the first search queries I tried. I can find information on the card, but not drivers. HP provided drivers, but I can't find them and I doubt that they would work without the xserver HP provides, but I'd be willing to use that instead of xorg if it meant that I could use the 3D capibilities of the card.
