Please see the man page on mkoconfig for a detailed
description.

The next two sections describe two methods of using
mkoconfig

to configure the GFX 400 card.

3.4.1 Interactive Configuration

mkoconfig

has an interactive menu-style interface (See Figure

3.1). To use this program to configure your GFX 400 card, type:

prompt# mkoconfig -i

NOTE: If X Windows is running on the GFX 400 card(s) to be
configured, please exit out of it before running mkoconfig.
Failure to do so could result in a corrupted screen for the
remainder of the X Window session.

The GFX 400 device(s) will be listed in the left column of the
configuration screen displayed by mkoconfig. (See Figure
3.1
).

A description of the commands is as follows:

Up/Down Arrow

selects the desired graphics
device to modify


Left/Right Arrow

selects the parameter to modify
(e.g. resolution, bit-depth, or
sync)


Space Bar

modifies the parameter for the
selected graphics device (will
bring up a menu when
applicable)
