Creator 3D Video Adapter
Hi everyone, it's me the Solaris novice once again. Here's my situation.
- I bought a Sun Ultra 10 Creator 3D Workstation and Sony 19" SVGA Monitor package deal.
- The system has the Creator 3D Video Adapter installed but I could not use it because the adapter has a 13w3 connection and my monitor has an SVGA 15-pin connection.
- So far I've been using the onboard video just fine.
- I bought what I thought was the correct adapter to attach the monitor to the workstation but it doesn't work.
- When I turn the computer on with the monitor plugged into the 13w3 connection the monitor power lite comes on and the computer boots but I get no display.
- Did I buy the wrong adapter?
- Do I need to change settings somewhere?
- What is the correct adapter for a standard SVGA monitor to an Ultra 10 Creator 3D video card?
Thanks for any help...

vga_getmonitortype
vga_getmonitortype(3) Svgalib User Manual vga_getmonitortype(3)
NAME
vga_getmonitortype - returns the monitor type configured
SYNOPSIS
#include <vga.h>
int vga_getmonitortype(void);
DESCRIPTION
This returns the monitor type configered in /etc/vga/libvga.config. This function is really obsolete, as the result is of not much use to
the application vga_getmodeinfo(3) and vga_hasmode(3) do already check the monitor type and there are more flexible ways to specify it too.
The return value is one of:
MON640_60
31.5 KHz (standard VGA): does 640x480 in 60Hz vsync.
MON800_56
35.1 KHz (old SVGA): does 800x600 in 56Hz vsync.
MON1024_43I
35.5 KHz (low-end SVGA, 8514): does 1024x768 in 43Hz vsync interlaced.
MON800_60
37.9 KHz (SVGA): does 800x600 in 60Hz vsync.
MON1024_60
48.3 KHz (SVGA non-interlaced): does 1024x768 in 60Hz vsync, non-interlaced.
MON1024_70
56.0 KHz (SVGA high frequency): does 1024x768 in 70Hz vsync.
MON1024_72
does 1024x768 in 72Hz vsync or even better.
