A) If you have something driving it now, look at the signals with a 'scope. B) Find the model number and try google. Try both the Sun model number and the make & model number of the actual CRT. C) Ask Sun. > Moni= > tors that support DDC aren't a big problem, but ones that don't are very ha= > rd.

One could write the mode into some sort of NVRAM on the board, but if this is the system console, you have a catch-22. You need a display to show you what you are about to write to the board that controls the display. Dip-switches or jumpers might seem old-fashioned, but they avoid this problem nicely. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
