Chapter 3 Installing the Hardware 17
Monitor Cables
Use the proper DVI-I monitor adapter cable that supports your monitor. The DVI-I
to HD15 monitor adapter, Sun part number 530-3305, comes with the Sun graphics
accelerator installation kit. You can also order the DVI-I to HD15 adapter through
the Sun store (
http://store.sun.com
).
Changing the Monitor Screen
Resolutions
Note – The monitor must be connected to the Sun XVR-2500 graphics accelerator
and powered on for it to configure to the monitor resolution.
For most installations, the graphics accelerator device automatically configures itself
to the screen resolution and refresh rate for the monitor. If a Sun monitor is
connected to the graphics accelerator device, the monitor might have the wrong
screen resolution. Use the
fbconfig
utility to change the screen resolution. (To
change screen resolutions using the Display Configuration Management tool,
DCMtool
, see Appendix D .)
SUNWkfb_config
contains Sun XVR-2500 graphics accelerator device-specific
configuration information.

To change the screen resolution using the
SUNWkfb_config
man page, type:
% man SUNWkfb_config
