Appendix A Changing the Console Resolution at the OpenBoot Prompt 23
Output-Device Method
To specify the console resolution of Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator through the
output-device
environment variable, use the format
screen:rAxBxC
where:
■
A is the desired horizontal resolution.
■
B is the desired vertical resolution.
■
C is the desired refresh rate.
The system checks these values against an internal list of resolutions (see “Video-
Mode Method” on page 24 for a list of video modes) and use the corresponding
entry as the console resolution. For example, to use VESA
1280 × 1024 × 75
as the
console resolution, go to the
ok
prompt and type:
Note – The Sun Fire T2000 system default console defaults to:
output-device=virtual-console
input-device=virtual-console
To use the Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator as a console, type a Solaris prompt:
#
eeprom output-device=screen
# eeprom input-device=keyboard
Or, at the
ok
prompt, type:
ok
setenv output-device screen
ok setenv input-device keyboard
Reboot after installing the Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator into the Sun Fire T2000
system.
ok setenv output-device screen:r1024x768x75
ok reset-all
