Configuring video adapters

Upgrading SCO UnixWare 2.X video adapter support

On your SCO UnixWare 2.X system, view or print the file /usr/X/defaults/Xwinconfig. This file contains keyboard, video adapter, and monitor definitions. The important lines are shown here:

     chipset = GD54xx                    # video chipset
       model = "GD54xx"                  # the core drawing lib for this class
  vendor_lib = gd54xx_256.so.2           # chip specific drawing lib
virtual_size = 1024x768                  # actual Frame Buffer size
      vendor = "Cirrus Logic - Generic"  # vendor name
From this information, you can determine that the configured video adapter is a Cirrus Logic GD54xx series model configured for 1024x768 mode.

Record this information, then (if auto-detection or auto-configuration fails) use it to configure your adapter on UnixWare 7 using the Video Configuration Manager.
