NOTE: The resolutions followed by an * use composite sync.
The resolutions followed by a + are not supported on the Raptor
1100T.

Use nvedit to set the video-mode variable in NVRAM to the
number that corresponds to the desired video mode in the
preceding table. For example, to set video-mode to 8 on the
Raptor 1000 (1024x768x60), type the following:

NOTE: Please refer to Appendix B for a description of nvedit
commands.

ok nvedit
0: 8 value video-mode
1: <ctrl-c>

ok nvstore
ok setenv use-nvramrc? true
ok reset

NOTE: The last three commands enable the NVRAM. Without
these lines, the changes you make with nvedit will be ignored.


A.4 Video-Timing Method


If the previously described method fails for your configuration, it
is possible to specify the exact timing numbers for a particular
resolution. This method for setting the console resolution also
uses nvedit. This method is more involved and requires
knowledge of all timing parameters for the desired resolution,
and is only meant for monitors whose resolutions are not
available in the Video-Mode Method.
