To get a list of available screen resolutions for your display device, type:
See Appendix A , “Changing the Console Resolution”, which includes methods on
changing your screen resolution from the OpenBoot ok prompt, a list of supported
resolutions, and additional information.
However, if you decide to set a different resolution and color depth configuration
under the X Window System, follow the instructions in this section to set your
resolution and color depth appropriately.
You can use the
fbconfig
utility any time after installation to change these
parameters and to turn on dual-screen mode.
Please see the man page on
TSImko_config
for a detailed description.
Note –
dual-screen mode is a feature described in “Dual-Screen Mode” on page 17 .
In this mode, you can only configure the Sun XVR-200 to a color depth of 24-bits.
The next two sections describe two methods of using
fbconfig
to configure the
graphics board.
