Original Question:
Somebody told me that the 3Dlabs Oxygen VX1 graphic adapter series is
supported by Tru64 > 5.0. While installing Patch 5 on 4.0F I found the
following patch:
Patch 00577.00 - Xserver library for OXYGEN VX1 PCI graphics card
Does this mean that the VX1 series is also supported by 4.0F??
Which cards of the VX1 series are supported (VX1, VX1-16, VX1-Stereo,
VX1-1600SW, GVX1, GVX1 Pro, ...)??
Answers:
Only the VX1 will work but:

There was no kernel driver in the V4.0F release, but I think it was in
the NHD3 kit, you need to get the NHD3 kit and read the release notes.
I suspect you need both NHD3 and the patch kit. As for what works and
what doesn't, the ONLY thing that is SUPPORTED is the option cards that
will be sold with a Compaq label. And they will only be supported in
systems where they were tested. Other stuff MIGHT work, but it will be
up to you to select a working option and verify it if you want to go
down that path. (If you get the impression I think you're wasting your
time chasing this, you'd be right.)
I did not get any success stories from anyone who already tried the
combination VX1/4.0F.
