11.5.4.4 Changing the Console Display
You can configure the OpenBoot PROM to designate a different graphics accelerator
as the console display. Use the show-displays utility, the nvalias command, and
the output-device parameter to make this change. For the following example, a
Sun XVR-600 graphics accelerator is installed in slot PCI4 and a Sun XVR-100
graphics accelerator is installed in slot PCI1. Initially, the Sun XVR-600 graphics
accelerator is the default console display. This example configures the Sun XVR-100
graphics accelerator to be the new console display.
1. Obtain the ok prompt.
See “Obtaining the ok Prompt for Testing” on page 5-2.
2. Display the device nodes for the installed graphics accelerators. For example:
3. Select the graphics accelerator to be the new console display by typing its
respective letter. For example:
The utility ends and the device node path is loaded into a text buffer.
4. Make an alias for the device node path. For example:
Type a space, hold down the Control key, and press the Y key.
5. Configure the output-device parameter for the new console display. For
example:
ok show-displays
a) /pci@1f,700000/SUNW,XVR-600@3
b) /pci@1e,600000/SUNW,XVR-100@3
q) NO SELECTION
Enter Selection, q to quit: b
