Chapter 3 Configuring the PGX32 Screen 19
To restore the default graphics device as the console, simply set the output-device
variable back to its default value of the screen. To do this, type:
Other PCI Frame Buffers
To make the PGX32 the console device when other PCI frame buffers are present in
the system, it may be necessary to change the
pcia-probe-list
to probe the
PGX32 slot before probing the secondary frame buffer (in addition to the changes
described above in “PGX32 Card as the Only Frame Buffer” on page 17.)
● Determine the slot numbers that correspond to these frame buffers, then ensure
that the PGX32 slot number precedes that of the secondary frame buffer in the
pcia-probe-list
.
For example, if the PGX32 is located in slot 3, and the secondary frame buffer is
located in slot 1, then update the
pcia-probe-list
so that slot 3 is probed before
slot 1. A possible configuration is:
Once the system is reset, all console messages are directed to the PGX32 card.
