Changing Screen Resolutions (-res)

To Find Resolutions Supported By Expert3D and the Connected Monitor

1. Use the SUNWifb_config command as follows:

   SUNWifb_config -res \?

You can change the screen resolution temporarily as a test to determine if the monitor supports the specified resolution.

Do not change screen resolution while the window system is running. Changing screen resolution while the window system is running may put the screen display in an unusable state.

To Change Screen Resolutions Temporarily

1. Use the SUNWifb_config command as follows:

   SUNWifb_config -res video-mode try

   See Table 8-2 for the list of video-mode options (see the "Video Mode Format" and "Symbolic Name" columns in the table). You will have five seconds to confirm the video mode by typing y.

To Change the Screen Resolution to Stereo

1. Enter the following:

   SUNWifb_config -res stereo

This changes the resolution to 960 x 680 at 112 Hz stereo the next time Xsun is run.
