Solaris Handbook for Sun Frame Buffers

Default Screen Resolutions

The Creator system reads the VESA standard Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) from the monitor to determine the default screen resolution. If the EDID data is not available for the monitor, the monitor ID sense code is used to determine the default screen resolution.

Table 4-1 lists the default screen resolutions by monitor ID sense code.

1280 x 1024 at 76 Hz 

1152 x 900 at 66 Hz

If the Creator system is unable to determine the monitor type, such as for non-Sun monitors, it defaults to a resolution of 1152 x 900 at 66 Hz.
