External Video Resolutions

TABLE A-4shows the external VGA display resolutions that SunPCi III software supports. For best results, increase the amount of available video memory from

8 Mbytes (the default) to 32 Mbytes. To make this change, refer to “Running Game Software on the SunPCi III Platform” on page 199.

Note – Remember that increasing your video memory decreases the amount of available system memory. Refer to “Increasing System Memory” on page 197 for more information.
