Configuring Display Settings
Before you configure your system for the Sun Common Desktop
Environment (CDE) or OpenWindows, you need to set the dis-
play mode for your board. DOME provides a default display
mode that you can use or override.
Read these sections before you configure CDE or OpenWindows:
• “Using the default display mode” on page 77
• “Overriding the default display mode” on page 80
• “Using visual classes” on page 83
Then read the appropriate section for your windowing
environment:
• “Configuring the Windowing Environment” on page 87
• “Using the DPMS Screen Saver” on page 89
• “Changing the Console” on page 92
Using the default display mode
DOME configures the Md5/DFP board with a default display
mode before shipment. When you use the Md5/DFP board as
the boot console, you must connect the board to a flat panel
capable of displaying this default mode. See
“Changing the
Console” on page 92 for information about making the
Md5/DFP board the console
.
The default display mode programmed on the Md5/DFP board
is 1536 x 2048 pixels.
