Question Monitor Resolution
My machine (Sun Blade 100) has just had it's OS reinstalled (solaris 8). For some reason the monitor resolution has changed (decreaded so that I have less monitor real esate).

Does anybody know the command to change monitor resolution in Solaris?

Cheers

I had the same problem some years ago on an DEC box, Alpha 2100.

You will need to load a driver for this change. If it is similar to my issue. I had this same thing on a Dell laptop as well.

I bet 99% that it is a driver for the video...


Check Sun website for info.
