Refresh is: vfreq: 0000004c = 76Hz and need to be set to 66Hz. I think I can manage that. Thanks, Frits. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin FitzGerrell [mailto:fitzgerrell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, 10 March 2003 18:14 To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [foxboro] What video card in a AW51b Frits, /dev/fb0 (and /dev/fb1 on dual headed boxes) are linked to the video drivers, so ls -l /dev/fb0 should show: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 13 08:57 /dev/fb0 -> fbs/cgsix0 B boxes normally had cgsix frame buffer (GX or Turbo GX video cards), although I commonly see CGthree cards in B boxes (probably migrated from A boxes). You can also browse the messages files: dmesg | egrep '(cgthree|cgsix)' to see your video cards. You're probably running both cards at 1152x900x76. To see the refresh rate dig into the output of: # prtconf -vp or, download the fbinfo script from Sun at: http://www.sunhelp.org/faq/progs/fbinfo In most cases you shouldn't have to set the video resolution. Default resolution is set by returned sense code according to the following: Code TGXplus(1) TGX(2) GXplus GX (LSC chip) ------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 1152x900x66 1152x900x66 1152x900x66 1152x900x66 6 1152x900x76 1152x900x76 1152x900x76 1152x900x76 5 1024x768x60 1024x768x60 1152x900x66 1152x900x66 4 1152x900x76 1152x900x76 1280x1024x67 1152x900x76 3 1152x900x66 1152x900x66 1152x900x66 1152x900x66 2 1280x1024x76 1152x900x66 mutant(3) mutant(3) 1 1600x1280x76 1152x900x66 mutant(4) mutant(4) 0 1024x768x77 1024x768x77 1152x900x66 1152x900x66 Setting B box video card resolutions is not trivial. D and E boxes have command line tools (m64config, ffbconfig and GFXconfig), but B boxes need changes made to the eeprom. To reset the resolution on the primary video card you can do: # eeprom output-device=screen:r1152x900x66 and reboot, or at the Forth toolkit ok> prompt: ok> setenv output-device screen:r1152x900x66 and boot. To set the second video card resolution, see the Sun Frame Buffer FAQ description at: http://www.sunhelp.org/faq/FrameBuffer.html#2b Regards, Kevin FitzGerrell Systems Engineer Foxboro New Zealand +64 9 573 7690 Quoting "Schouten, Frits JF" <Frits.Schouten@xxxxxxxxxxxx>: > Hello all, > > How can I find out, without popping the lid of the AW51b, what video > card is > installed? > I want to change the resolution. > > The AW is actively in use and I can't remove it to examine but the > screen > let the smoke out and I have to replace it with someting else. > I've tried a few CRT's but they indicate a too high refresh rate. > The Compaq LCD 1701 seems to do the job but only half.
