...Just picked up an Ultra5 to add to my suse collection (1 x86, 1
Alpha). I haven't gotten far, however- as soon as it boots up, Openboot
seems to only be able to use the bottom 1/4 of my monitor (15in tft)-
and it looks like it's trying to scan the whole screen into that bottom
quarter- ie all the content rolls by quickly- it's really unusable.

Does anyone know of a firmware command to reset the ouput device, or to
force it to use the whole screen?

thanks-
