Page 28: Man Pages
Man Pages The Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator man pages describe how you can query and set frame buffer attributes such as screen resolutions and visual configurations. Use the fbconfig(1M) man page for configuring all Sun graphics accelerators. TSImko_config(1M) contains Sun XVR-200 device-specific configuration information. -
Page 29: Changing Resolution And Color Depth Through The Gui
Note – dual-screen mode is a feature described in “Dual-Screen Mode” on page 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. -

# fbconfig -i # fbconfig -dev mko0 -i Note – If the X Window System is running on the Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator to be configured, please exit out of it before running fbconfig. Failure to do so could result in a corrupted screen for the remainder of the X Windows session. -
Page 31: Noninteractive Configuration
Screen Mode” on page 17.) Noninteractive Configuration Sometimes it is convenient to configure the Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator noninteractively. This method is especially useful when configuring many systems identically or when the appropriate configuration for the system is already known. - Page 32 To configure the resolution to 1280 × 1024 × 60 Hz, type: # fbconfig -res 1280x1024x60 Note – If no device is specified, fbconfig configures the console Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator. To verify the resolution prior to setting it permanently, add the word try after the resolution name.

Page 33: Dual-Screen Mode
-dev /dev/fbs/mko0 -propt Dual-Screen Mode The Sun XVR-200 graphics accelerator has the ability to support two displays – two digital displays, two analog displays, or one analog and one digital. You can configure the card so that the two displays appear as one unified screen to the X Windows display. - Page 34 Note – These limits apply to analog output only. Digital output is restricted to 1280 × 1024 × 60. Dual-head configurations that include a digital monitor are also limited to 1280 × 1024 × 60 for both heads.
