▼How to Prepare Windows 2000 to Display External Video

To use an external monitor, you need to attach the monitor to the SunPCi III main card backplate and install the external video driver. The video drivers are now automatically installed during the SunPCi III installation.

Caution – Do not use both system and external monitors at the same time. SunPCi software does not support multi-headed operation.

To complete this configuration, perform the following procedures:

1.Attach the monitor to the external video port connector on the SunPCi III main card backplate.

Refer to FIGURE 10-1to find the location of the external video port.

2.Close Windows 2000 and the SunPCi III software.

3.At the Solaris system prompt, restart the SunPCi III software using the -voption:

%/opt/SUNWspci3/bin/sunpci -v

Note – If you do not use the -voption, the Sun display will appear scrambled.

The SunPCi III software starts, and Windows 2000 opens first on the external monitor, and then on your system monitor in the SunPCi III window.

4.Attach the mouse by pressing Meta-M.
