[rescue] HPPA (c3700) + FX4 1600x1200 ?

[Denis]

Greetings!

I understand you need to use setmon HP-UX utility to change resolution.

In firmware (CO / MO you mentioned) you see only limited number of resolutions. Most probably so that you have something to reset to without booting the system (e.g. through serial port).

I have had no success yet though to configure 1920x1200.

‘User’ resolution is something that could be configured from EDID file that setmon can read from monitor. My FX10Pro didn’t manage to read that though.

Regards,
Denis
