I just installed Solaris 10 U2 x86 on Sun Fire X2100. The default screen resolution is 640x480. How can I change this? In JDS, when I login as root, and run the resolution applet I have no other choice than 640x480. And actually I have no idea what type of video card is installed in the server. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
Try
# /usr/sbin/pgxconfig
to see what graphics card you have:
# pgxconfig -prconf

Hardware Configuration for gfxp0

If that works, then your graphics are under the control of pgxconfig,
and you could try
# pgxconfig -res 1024x768x75
# pkill -9 Xsun
(the 2nd command restarts X without a full power-cycle).
If pgxconfig fails, try m64config with the same options.
If pgxconfig fails, go into single-user mode (init s), then
run kdmconfig, and choose the Sun config option instead of
the Xopen option (sorry, I forget the precise options), then
you'll get to try out different resolutions).
good luck.
You can then have a go at setting different resolutions with
