Configuring The Display Monitor; To Set The Monitor Configuration - Planar DOME Md4/PCI Installation Manual

Installing the Md4/PCI Board in a Digital UNIX Workstation
Configuring the Display Monitor
Your Md4/PCI board provides high display resolutions
and its monitors have unique requirements. Therefore
you must configure the driver to specify which monitor
is attached to your Md4/PCI board. Typically DOME
boards are used with large, high-resolution, monochrome
monitors, but the DOME Md4/PCI driver can also
support a color monitor.
When you first install the kit on your system, the
program automatically configures your DOME display
driver to support the monitors you specify. If you change
monitors after you install the kit, you can use a special
script called
configuration easily without reloading the kit.
