Yes. I already rebooted after any changes. > Instead, you have to much with the OpenPROM environment > variables and reset the machine. I started from the OBP prompt: the changes I make in the OBP and with the eeprom utility seem to be equivalent. Nevertheless: they don't have any effect. > You can find a list of usable resolutions and refresh rates from the > Sun Framebuffer document referenced earlier in this thread. Yes, I tried some which should work for all Creator Cards. Unfortunately without success. Do I have to expect the OBP screen will appear in the new refresh rate. Since it definitely does not (still 66 Hz) this would mean my problem is more hardware-related than linux-related and that I have to look for a better place to ask Sun hardware specific questions.
