hi,

i have a SPARCstation 10 dual-booting Solaris and NetBSD from different
hard drives, equipped with AG-10E and TGX+ framebuffers.

i'd like to keep AG-10E as my primary head and set resolution on TGX+ to
1280x1024x76 to run XFree86 under NetBSD on it (1152x900x60 is really
killing my eyes).

since cgsix framebuffers can be configured only in OBP, i searched the
web for hints how to set resolution on secondary framebuffer and found
something in well known Framebuffer FAQ:.  the example looks this way:

  eeprom nvramrc=3D'probe-all
  install-console
  banner
  : vsetup " 135000000,81128,76,32,64,288,1280,2,8,32,1024,COLOR,0OFFSET" ;
  vsetup 4
  " /sbus/cgsix@2" " override" execute-device-method drop
  '

Notes for TGX+ from the same document:

  Note  that  the  number  4 in vsetup 4 refers to the sense code of the
  monitor.   Here  is  the  appropriate  voodoo  for  several  supported
  resolutions. Note also that this will only work for the TGX or TGX+.

  1280 x 1024 at 76 Hz   135000000,81128,76,32,64,288,1280,2,8,32,1024,COLO=
R,0OFFSET

  FRAMEBUFFER DEFAULT RESOLUTIONS BY SENSE CODE

  Code    TGXplus(1)      TGX(2)          GXplus          GX (LSC chip)
  -------------------------------------------------------------------=20
  4       1152x900x76     1152x900x76     1280x1024x67    1152x900x76
  2       1280x1024x76    1152x900x66     mutant(3)       mutant(3)

i changed it to something i hoped would fit my needs (my cgsix resides
in /iommu/sbus/cgsix@0):

  eeprom nvramrc=3D'probe-all
  install-console
  banner
  : vsetup " 135000000,81128,76,32,64,288,1280,2,8,32,1024,COLOR,0OFFSET" ;
  vsetup 2
  " /iommu/sbus/cgsix@0" " override" execute-device-method drop
  '

but without expected results.  the card is still in 1152x900x60 mode.
if i change the output-device manually to screen:r1280x1024x76 and boot
NetBSD while screen is alias for cgsix, the card boots fine in
1280x1024x76 mode.

any hints how to set nvramrc properly to achieve $SUBJ are appreciated.

thanks,
