Are you using this very old SBUS card?

The actual part number will be on a sticker on the card, itself.

You could also telnet into the system and run a verbose PRTDIAG.

(the framebuffer might be listed in its output.)

Note the limited number of screen resolutions that are shown in those two web links.

Those are the only outputs from those cards.

So ... if your CRT can work at 1152x900, then go ahead and attach it.

Many monitors cannot run at that resolution.

That is the default output until you customize it with the FBCONFIG command.

Yes, both framebuffer models can work DOWN AT 1024x768.

The thing is, the default resolution will be 1152x900,

which many middle-aged and older CRT's cannot understand.

That is why I mentioned that you may need to telnet into the system

and use fbconfig to change the resolution to a compatible one.

Additionally, you may need to halt Solaris and restart it,

for any resolution changes to take effect.That's most often just done with a reboot.

You won't know until you get everything connected.

Familiarize yourself with the man pages for fbconfig, just to be prepared.
