Yes they are the same card.  I think the former is the 400 series name and
the latter is the 300 series name.

Oh, I forgot to mention this.  The HP server creates its unix domain socket
in a different place than the standard X server.  So local BSD clients can't
talk to the server without a hack.  /usr/spool/sockets/X11 is where the HP-UX
X server wants to put it vs. /tmp/.X11-unix for BSD.  So we just have a
little wrapper program for the server that effectively:

	mkdir /tmp/.X11-unix
	ln -s /usr/spool/sockets/X11/X0 X0
	exec real-x-server

For the HP-UX server, you might also go out to the HP patch database and
pick up the last patched version of the X server.  PHSS_6773 is the last
one I had.
