Date:i June 19, 1993 Bulletin: B-930619-1 Subject: Modifying default frame buffer to 4096 colors on Hitachi display panels You can use the following to change the default frame buffer configuration to the 4096 color mode on Hitachi display panels. Log in as the root user, and execute the following: 1. Save the current copy of the kernel, # cd / # cp /vmunix /vmunix.orig 2. Use adb to modify the kernel, # adb -w vmunix fb_mode_table+0xe?w 0x7530 fb_mode_table+0x10?w 0xc fb_mode_table+0x12?w 0xc fb_mode_table+0x14?w 0x8 fb_mode_table+0x16?w 0x1 fb_mode_table+0x18?w 0x1 fb_mode_table+0x1a?w 0xf $q 3. Reboot using the newly modified kernel, # reboot Note that this will copy over the 512 mode, and the only way to enable it again is to reboot with the original copy of the kernel. If you should experience any problems with this procedure, please contact Tadpole Technology at (800) 232-1881 and ask for SPARCbook Customer Support. Sincerely, SPARCbook Customer Support
