by providing information to the kdmconfig
software interface.
How to verify the configuration of
graphics devices.
Check the sample display provided after
configuration and click to accept the
configuration. If the display looks wrong or you
can’t click on the button, use the kdmconfig
software to change the device parameters, and
accept the configuration when the sample display
looks correct.
Monitors
What to Do What to Do
How to correct a redundant monitor
configuration for the Weitek
P9000-based Diamond Viper graphics
card.
The OpenWindows environment uses the
attributes listed on the same line as the Diamond
Viper card selection in the kdmconfig interface.
The next screen that requests monitor type is
ignored by the software, and any selection can be
made.
For additional information on the kdmconfig program, see the kdmconfig(1M)
man page.

Replacing a Network Card
If you replace your network card with one that uses a different network driver (for
example, smc), before rebooting the second time, rename the
/etc/hostname.olddriver0 file to /etc/hostname.newdriver0.
