3.4 Changing Resolution and Bit-Depth


After installation you will need to configure the OpenWindows
screen resolution, bit-depth, and refresh rate for your monitor.
(This resolution is different from the console resolution.

Appendix A discusses the console resolution.) The resolution of
the Raptor DL-Lite card is fixed at 2560x1600 at 60 Hz.
However, at any time after installation you can change the other
parameters by using the

dltconfig

utility.




3.4.1 dltconfig Utility

The

dltconfig

utility has an interactive menu-style interface

(See Figure 3.1). It can be used to set bit-depth and refresh
rate. To use this program to configure your Raptor card, type:

prompt# dltconfig


NOTE: If X Windows is running on the Raptor card(s) to be
configured, please exit out of it before running

dltconfig

.

Failure to do so could result in a corrupted screen for the
remainder of the X Window session.

NOTE: You must be logged in as

root

to execute this

program.
