[comp.unix.sysv386] How can I get 800*600 resolution on Intel's SVR4

okamoto@chigaku.souka.osakafu-u.ac.jp (Kenji Okamoto) (05/25/91)

I'm a novice user of Intel's SVR4 v.2.0 for developper's version.
I cannot set my ATI VGA wonder+(512k) to 800*600 resolution on my
x11r3.

According to the Relese Notes, 
1) rewrite kd.h as SW_GEN_800*600
2)in order to set the video card, 
       fd = open("/dev/video", O_RDWR);
       ioctl(fd, SW_GEN_800*600, 0);

I wonder how and when I should run the above 'program'.
If someone on the net knows the procedure, I would be happy to make me
know it.

The following is my environment;

	386AT clone (Hawk Computers) 33MHz with 387
        ATI VGA Wonder+ with 512K memory
        Adaptec's AHA-1542B and MAXTOR's LXT-200s + LXT-213s
        Intel's SVR4 v.2.0 from Programmer's Connection.

Thanks in advance,

ken
