/opt/graphics/common/bin/graphinfo allows you to display the current graphics configuration and the graphics drivers that are being used.

opt/graphics/common/bin/setmon allows you to reconfigure the monitor type.

The Display menu of the HP-UX System Administration Manager (SAM) utility allows you to configure the X-server and set the monitor type.

/opt/graphics/common/bin/setmon -V will display the firmware revision of the graphics card.

If the monitor is not displaying on powering up, the system console may not yet recognize the new graphics card. Perform the following steps to reconfigure the system console so that it recognizes the new card:

1.Force the system to set the default console to a serial terminal on com1 by disconnecting the keyboard from the system and recycling power.

2.Interrupt the boot up sequence and wait until the Boot Console Handler prompt is displayed, then move to the configuration menu by typing co.
