You can't change the screen resolution and refresh rates after the system has booted. Neither the kernel nor Xfree86 know how to reprogram the chip into a different resolution or refresh rate.
Instead, you have to much with the OpenPROM environment variables and reset the machine. For example, from the OBP prompt: ok setenv output-device screen:r1280x1024x66 or whatever, on my large Sony flatpanel I use this: ok setenv output-device screen:r1920x1200x70 You can find a list of usable resolutions and refresh rates from the Sun Framebuffer document referenced earlier in this thread. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
