Now that you mention screen size...

Is there any way to have a Sparc IPC (24Meg) to have a screen size >
1152 x 900

Do I have more than one piece of video hardware ?

(from dmesg) cgthree0 at sbus0 slot 2 offset 0x0: SUNW,501-1718, 1152 x
900 (console) bwtwo0 at sbus0 slot 3 offset 0x0: SUNW,501-1561, 1152 x
900

I remember something about setting screen sizes with the eeprom utility
from SunOS but I actually never managed to make that work. How do *you*
specify screen sizes?
