A.5 Troubleshooting


Problem:

The Video-Mode method described in Appendix A was used to
change the console resolution but the card does not come up in
the desired resolution.

Possible Cause:

The output-device environment variable may have been set
at the ok prompt, or the video-timing variable may be set in
NVRAM. The resolution specified by the output-device
variable and the video-timing variable takes precedence over
the resolution specified by the video-mode variable. If a
resolution has not been specified by any of these variables, then
the card's default resolution is used. The order of precedence
from highest to lowest is as follows:

1. output-device resolution (Section A.2)
2. video-timing resolution (Section A.4)
3. video-mode resolution (Section A.3)
4. card's default resolution (Section A.1)

Solution:

Clear the resolution specification from the output-device
environment variable by typing the following:

ok setenv output-device screen
ok reset-all
