4.3.1 Resolution Options for the Raptor 1000 and

Raptor 1100T


The X Windows resolution of the Raptor 1000 and Raptor 1100T
can be set through the -screen and -vsync command line
options and by editing the XServers.conf. If no option is
used, the resolution defaults to 1280x1024@60 for Raptor 1000
and 1280x1024@60 for Raptor 1100T. For a list of valid
resolutions, please refer to Appendix A.

If the specified resolution does not match one from the list, the
default resolution will be used.

To set the resolution to 1600x1200@60, type:

prompt# /usr/bin/X11/X –screen 1600x1200 \

-vsync 60


NOTE: If no screen number is specified in the option, the setting
will be applied to all the screens.

The screen number can be specified on most of the X Server
options. For example the following command will set the screen
1

resolution to 1600x1200@60 and all other screens will use the

default value.

prompt# /usr/bin/X11/X –screen1 1600x1200 \

-vsync 60

4.3.2 Depth and Resolution Options for the

Raptor GFX-8PD

The bit depth of the Raptor GFX-8PD can be set to 8-bit only,
8+24 bit or 24-bit only by passing command line parameters. By
default, the card will start up in the 8-bit mode.
