gvid_no_claim_dev(5)						File Formats Manual					      gvid_no_claim_dev(5)

NAME

       gvid_no_claim_dev - PCI Vendor/Device ID that the gvid graphics driver will not claim

VALUES

   Failsafe
   Default
   Allowed values
   Recommended values
       Specific to the device you wish to prevent from claiming.

DESCRIPTION

       This tunable specifies the PCI Vendor ID and/or Device ID of a graphics device that the HP graphics driver should not claim.

       The  graphics driver was designed to be a general purpose driver for all PCI graphics cards.  As a result, the driver will attempt to claim
       any PCI graphics display device found on the system.  This can be a problem for graphics device developers  who	need  their  own  graphics
       driver to claim their own graphics device.

       The  value  of will specify a PCI Vendor ID and/or Device ID of a graphics card that the gvid graphics driver should not claim.	It is a 32
       bit number, with the upper 16 bits containing the PCI Vendor ID and the lower 16 bits containing the PCI Device ID.  Either the	Vendor	ID
       or Device ID can use a wildcard value of

       For  example,  if  is  set to the value the driver will ignore graphics devices with a PCI Vendor ID of and a Device ID of If is set to the
       driver will not claim any graphics cards with a Vendor ID of regardless of the Device ID.

   Who Is Expected to Change This Tunable?
       Anyone who wishes the graphics driver to ignore a specific graphics device.  This will typically be  someone  writing  their  own  graphics
       driver for their own hardware.

   Restrictions on Changing
       Changes to this tunable take effect at the next reboot.

   What Other Tunables Should Be Changed at the Same Time?
       None.

WARNINGS

       All  HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release specific.  This parameter may be removed or have its meaning changed in future releases of
       HP-UX.

       Installation of optional kernel software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable  parameter  values.   After  installation,
       some  tunable  parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended values.  For information about the effects of installation on tun-
       able values, consult the documentation for the kernel software being installed.	For information about optional kernel  software  that  was
       factory installed on your system, see at

NAME

       STRMSGSZ - maximum size of streams message data (bytes)

VALUES

   Failsafe
   Default
   Allowed values
   Recommended values
DESCRIPTION

       This  tunable  limits the number of bytes of message data that can be inserted by or in the data portion of any streams message on the sys-
       tem.  If the tunable is set to zero, there is no limit on how many bytes can be placed in the data segment of the message.

       returns if the buffer being sent is larger than the current value of segments the data into multiple messages.

   Who Is Expected to Change This Tunable?
       Any customer.

   Restrictions on Changing
       Changes to this tunable take effect at next reboot.

   When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Raised?
       The tunable should be increased by any customer if the customer's STREAMS module/driver(s) require a longer message size in the	data  por-
       tion than the current value.

   What Are the Side Effects of Raising the Value of This Tunable?
       The kernel will use more memory.  During low memory situations, it may bring down system performance due to frequent swapping.

   When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Lowered?
       The  tunable  could  be lowered by any customer if the customer's STREAMS module/driver(s) do not require a longer message size in the data
       portion than the current value.

   What Are the Side Effects of Lowering the Value of This Tunable?
       Possible improper functioning in any of the STREAMS module/driver(s).  Possible performance degradation, particularly in networking.

   What Other Tunable Should Be Changed at the Same Time as This One?
       None.

WARNINGS

       All HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release specific.  This parameter may be removed or have its meaning changed in future releases	of
       HP-UX.

       Installation  of  optional  kernel  software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable parameter values.  After installation,
       some tunable parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended values.  For information about the effects of installation  on  tun-
       able  values,  consult  the documentation for the kernel software being installed.  For information about optional kernel software that was
