Default Adding a FX5 to an existing box

I currently a Visualize B2000 running HP-UX 11i. Right now it has the
onboard graphics.

I'd like to add a FX5 graphics card for it and use that as the main
display, primarily to do some OpenGL work for compatibility testing
purposes.

If I install the FX5, is it difficult for HP-UX/X11 to see the new
card and use it correctly? Is it easier to re-install HPUX after
installing the FX5?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Jeff

No.
Install the new card. In the PDC set the console to the new graphic
card. Boot the system. And configure the new graphics with SAM.
