Note -

When running a Solaris 2.6 window system on most newer notebooks, the resolution to use for the internal notebook display will be automatically determined. However, you must still run kdmconfig to configure the notebook as well as the characteristics of a possible external display. In kdmconfig, you should select the Monitor Type, Screen Size, and Resolution/Colors entries that apply to your external display. If you do not plan to use an external display, select one of the Notebook entries as your Monitor. The window system software will automatically switch between the available resolution for your internal notebook display and the configured resolution for the external monitor.

If you have an older notebook for which the resolution of the display is not automatically determined, the resolution selected by kdmconfig will be used on both internal and external displays. On these notebooks, make sure you don't select a resolution that is higher than the internal display supports, because this may damage the display.
