Changing Your Computer’s Hardware Configuration
Changing Your Monitor Type
Changing Your Monitor Type
Your system ships from the factory preset to use a monitor with a specific
resolution and frequency. If you replace you monitor with a different
type, you must reconfigure your computer to support it.
There are two ways to configure your computer to support a different
monitor type. They are discussed in the subsequent sections.
Setting the Monitor Type at Power-On
If you replace your computer monitor with a different type of monitor,
and you have not set the computer’s graphics parameters by using the
Boot Console Interface’s
monitor
command, you can still configure your
computer’s new monitor type when you reboot the system.
To set the monitor type, do the following:
1.
Press the
Tab
key after your keyboard’s lights flash during the boot
process to initiate the automatic monitor selection process. Your
system will query you for a new monitor type.
2.
Select one of the monitor types listed on the screen and press
Enter
.
3.
Answer yes (by pressing
Y
), to the system query to confirm your
selection. Note that if you do not make a selection, the system cycles
through the possible monitor types continuously until you do make
your selection.
Setting
the
Monitor
Type
from
the
Boot
Console
Interface
To change your computer’s graphics parameters before you replace your
monitor, go to the section “Displaying and Setting the Monitor Type” in
the Boot Console Interface chapter.
To see how to examine and set your monitor’s attributes, see the
“Monitor” section in the Overview chapter.
