Using the Default Monitor Mode
DOME configures PCI boards with a default monitor mode
before shipment. When you use a DOME PCI board as the
boot console, you must connect the board to a monitor capable
of displaying this default monitor mode. See “Changing the
Console” on page 92 for information about making the
Md2/PCI board the console.
If you are using a Sun display board as the boot console, you can
use it to check the default mode programmed on your Md2/PCI
board. You can also use the Sun console to change the default
monitor mode on the Md2/PCI board.
Checking the default mode
After you install the driver software package and reboot
your computer (if necessary), you can use the
video_mode
program to check the default monitor mode.
To use this program, change the directory to
/
opt/DOMEmd2pci/util
, and type:
video_mode -h
This command displays a help file that describes the usage
syntax for the
video_mode
program.
You can use the
video_mode
command to check whether a
default mode is programmed on your board. For example, use
this line of code to check whether a default mode is programmed
on the first board in the computer:
video_mode -d /dev/md2pci0.0
The display resolution of the default monitor mode for
the Md2/PCI board is 1280 x 1024 pixels @ 76 Hz.
