[SPARCbook] Changing Display to External Sun Monitor

[Les Gondor]

There is a command line utility that is part of the tadpole packages called
'fbconfig'.  It gives a number of choices as to the framebuffer configuration.
If memory serves, fbconfig -m 1 will drive an external VGA monitor with the same 
image as appears on the LCD screen. man fbconfig for the whole story.

>I have a SparcBook 3xp with Solaris 2.6 5/98 on it and I wanted to connect
>it to an external monitor instead of using the laptop display. Any Ideas? I
>have all of the cables/adapters I need. It should be simple, or am I missing
>something.
