Xsun configuration on Sparc

807559Dec 29 2007 — edited Dec 29 2007
I have installed Solaris 10 8/07 on a Blade 1000 / UltraSparc III+ workstation with a XVR-500 graphics adapter. Installation went smooth, Solaris is running with Xserver and JDS desktop. The only thing I want to change is the display resolution.

After lots and lots of google searching, I am pretty clueless how to do this. I am using Xsun, judging from my running processes:

/usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -defdepth 24 -nobanner -auth /var/dt/A:0-jnay2a

Xsun is supposed to read its configuration from 2 files:
/usr/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig (includes all possible configuration options)
/etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig (specifies which configuration from /usr/openwin/... to use)

The second configuration file is missing, there is no /etc/openwin directory. Also I have no kdmconfig, just ffbconfig. Using ffbconfig would be fine with me, but "man ffbconfig" tells me that the configuration will be saved in /etc/openwin/... which I don't have. So where is my configuration file???

Also I do not want to switch to Xorg, as everything else is working fine with Xsun, especially OpenGL performance with my XVR-500 graphics adapter. The only thing I need to know is the official way to change display resolution for Xsun. Unfortunately there seems to be no documentation.
