“Hewlett-Packard Company today announced Linux support for
its recently introduced HP VISUALIZE fx5 and fx10 graphics
accelerators. HP is demonstrating the new capabilities here at
SIGGRAPH 2000, which is being held here July 24 through 28.
“The HP VISUALIZE fx5 and fx10 graphics accelerators, already
available in versions for Windows NT(R)-based HP VISUALIZE Personal
Workstations or UNIX(R) system-based HP VISUALIZE workstations (see
related June 29 release), are designed to provide breakthrough
performance and to offer the highest visual realism at interactive
speeds. Only HP provides both the graphics driver and proven X
server, thereby offering single-point support for the total Linux
solution.”
“The HP VISUALIZE fx graphics workstation is an amazing
performer on Linux,” said Ed Leonard, head of technology for
DreamWorks Animation. “The HP engineering team has been a
tremendous resource to us as we build our Linux pipeline.”
