Hi,
may I can help ...
at the OK promt you can change the default monitor console
At hte ok prompt :
ok show-displays
a) /pci@1f,0/pci@5/TSI,gfxp@2
b) /pci@1f,0/pci@5/SUNW,m64B@1
c) /pci@1f,0/pci@5/SUNW,Expert3D-Lite@0
q) NO SELETION
Select the graphics card you want to use as default console display
Enter Selection, q to quit: b
/pci@1f,0/pci@5/SUNW,m64B@1 has been selected.
Type ^Y (Control-Y) to insert it in the command line.
e.g. ok nvalias mydev ^Y
Create an alias for the device
ok nvalias mydev <Control-Y> <ENTER>
Set the device to be the console device
ok setenv output-device mydev
Store it
ok setenv use-nvramrc? true
ok reset
Now the selected device is your default.
OK, now lets change the dtlogin-stuff :-)
in the directory /usr/dt/config edit the Xservers - file.
My file looks like :
-----8<------
# :0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/X -dev /dev/fb0 -dev
/dev/fb1
# See the Xsun.1 and Xserver.1 man pages for additional options of
# interest.
#
############################################################################
####
# :0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -nobanner
:0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun -dev /dev/fb1
-nobanner
# for use whith dual output, where fb0 is onboard an fb1 is second
# :0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun -dev /dev/fb1 -dev
/dev/fb0 -nobanner
----->8------
You have to fix your device. I do not know what Elite3D use. Must be like
/dev/somewhat :-)
Maybe you can find out more whith afbconfig...
Thats all.
btw, an clean way to remove old entries from the /dev /devices is devfsadm.
Running devfsadm removes the old entries and adds new one to the /dev
/devices tree.
Hope I could help you.
