The display resolution of the Raptor 2000, Raptor 2500, Raptor
2100T, Raptor 2500T and Raptor 2500T-DL cards cannot be
changed. It is possible to change the console resolution on the
Raptor 1000 and Raptor 1100T cards. The procedures
described in this appendix are:

Output-Device Method

Video-Mode Method

Video-Timing Method


This appendix includes a troubleshooting section describing
possible problems and solutions associated with changing the
console resolution.

A.2 Output-Device Method

To specify the console resolution of a Raptor card via the
output-device

environment variable, use the format

screen:rAxBxC

where:


A

is the desired horizontal resolution,

B

is the desired vertical resolution,

C

is the desired refresh rate.


The system will check these values against an internal list of
resolutions (see section A.3 for valid list) and use the
corresponding entry as the console resolution.

For example, to use VESA 1024x768@75Hz as the console
resolution, type the following at the ok prompt:

ok setenv output-device screen:r1024x768x75

ok reset-all

NOTE: The new console resolution will take effect following the
reset, and will hold the resolution information until the output-

device

variable is changed manually.
