None of that worked. All the resolutions listed I tried, and none
sync'd. So, I swapped frame buffers out of the SS1 and into the
SS5, and it worked fine.
The monitor was the GDM1962, and the frame buffer that did not work
was a 501-2337. The 501-1643(?) out of the SS1 did work.
Sol8 said the X server could not be started on display:0, and it
came up in commandline mode. Trying to start X manually gave
a ``Graphics Adapter device /dev/fb is of unknown type''.
Show-sbus says it has a cgsix in slot2.
How do I correctly get X back up on the cgsix?
Thanks
Bob
