Solaris Handbook for Sun Frame Buffers

Default Screen Resolutions

For most installations, the Expert3D automatically configures itself to the proper screen resolution and refresh rate for the attached monitor. However, if a non-Sun monitor is attached to the Elite3D, the monitor may not have the proper screen resolution.

Table 8-1 lists the default screen resolutions by monitor sense code.
