Appendix A - Changing the Console Resolution

A-5


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

For example, to set the console resolution to 1280x1024x76,
type the following:

ok nvedit
0: : video-timing " 1280, 384, 32, 64,

1024, 43, 3, 8, 135000000, 0" ;

1: <ctrl-c>
ok nvstore
ok setenv use-nvramrc? true
ok reset

NOTE: The syntax is very important. The spaces must be
present exactly as they appear in the example.

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