Visualize graphics

Hi

I have built a X class (A1280B) and have installed the 6.2 Redhat Linux distribution from CD. I then downloaded the graphics drivers for the Fx10 and ran into two problems.
1. The documentation won't install because it says that it requires hpstart-doc which isn't there.
2. A command /usr/lib/setparms/runstartup that seems to be needed to configure the driver is missing.

Can anyone shed any light on how to get this graphics driver working with the OS.

Thanks

Nigel

A full list of deltas to 6.2 can be found at:

The easiest and fastest way to get a box set up is to use HP's recovery disk?it only takes 5-10 minutes and will get all the recommended software and patches. By the way, the CD only works on the Visualize boxes, since, when it?s configuring things it only looks for hardware we ship, rather than handling thousands of possible options.
I Hope this helps.
