2.8 Changing the Refresh Rate for Monitors
The TurboGX/TurboGXplus card supports a variety of monitors and refresh
rates. In most cases, the user simply connects the monitor to the
TurboGX/TurboGXplus card and the card automatically identifies the
resolution and refresh rate for the monitor. There are two cases where you may
wish to override the sense code bus:
1. If you wish to use one the following resolution and refresh rates; 1024 x 768
@ 70 Hz, or 1280 x 1024 @ 67 Hz, you need to override the sense code bus.
The sense code bus identifies only six of the eight supported resolution and
refresh rate combinations.
Note –
You will need to override the sense code bus when upgrading from a
GXplus to a TurboGXplus card.
2. If you do not want to use the resolution and refresh rate combination
identified by the sense code (this may occur when using a non-Sun monitor
or a cable adapter.)
Note –
Ensure that the monitor attached does support the resolution and
refresh rate that you have selected.
