Is this monitor so ancient that it doesn't report its supported timings through DDC? Is it possible that you're using a bad cable, or that the cable isn't properly connected? Was the monitor powered on when you powered on the Sun Ray? > On older versions of SRSS I used to set the > resolution for a given device as follows: > > /opt/SUNWut/bin/utxconfig -r 1280x1024 -s 'off' -t pseudo.0003babbaa64 'utxconfig' doesn't really set the timing, it sets the dimensions of the X desktop. This has an indirect effect on the timing because by default the Sun Ray will try to fit the desktop into one of the supported timings reported by DDC. > The option -s is no longe rsupported in SRS 3.1. '-s' is supported but deprecated. It will go away completely in a future release. It's being removed for two reasons: the main reason is that it controlled too many unrelated things, the other is that lots of people forgot to use '-s off' and were confused when 'utxconfig -r' didn't do what they wanted. > I then tried > > /opt/SUNWut/bin/utxconfig -r 1280x1024 -t pseudo.0003babbaa64 > > but after power cycling the DTU it still has thesmall resolution. Any ideas? Changes made by 'utxconfig' don't take effect until a new X server gets started. That happens after you log out. Did you log out after power-cycling the DTU? If this monitor really doesn't do DDC then you'll need to use the 'utresadm' command to force the DTU to drive the monitor with a specific timing. Before you do that please read <http://www.filibeto.org/pipermail/sunray-users/2004-September/000206.html> and the thread with the subject "Screen Resolution" starting at <http://www.filibeto.org/pipermail/sunray-users/2005-April/000674.html> for background information.
