External Video Resolutions
TABLE A-4 shows the external VGA display resolutions that SunPCi III software
supports. For best results, increase the amount of available video memory from
8 Mbytes (the default) to 32 Mbytes. To make this change, refer to “Running Game
Software on the SunPCi III Platform” on page 199.
Note – Remember that increasing your video memory decreases the amount of
available system memory. Refer to “Increasing System Memory” on page 197 for
more information.
