The system checks these values against an internal list of resolutions, and uses the
corresponding entry as the console resolution.
For example, to use VESA1024x768x75 as the console resolution, type:
Note –
The new console resolution takes effect following the reset, and holds the
resolution information until the
output-device
variable is changed manually.
Video-Mode Method
At the
ok
prompt in Boot PROM mode, the console resolution can be easily set on
the PGX32 cards by using one of the 34 preinstalled resolution modes. These
resolution settings are identified by video modes 0-33 (
TABLE A-1
).
Note –
Use video modes 0-25 to select a console depth of 24 bits, or video modes 26-
33 to select a console depth of 8 bits.
