*** One interesting note, I have CDE running on this machine and if the display
settings are incorrectly configured, CDE will still attempt to run and when
that happens you can't even remotely login to affect changes to the settings.
Thanks again to everyone,
John Mostakis

Hi - yes, try
kdmconfig -u
to remove the previous configuration and then type
kdmconfig -cf
This needs to done without a windowing system running. Also, you may want to
download the lastest video drivers from Sun.

Answer: Many thanks to Cristian Gavazzeni (cristian@italy.sun.com)
for the answer.
Use kdmconfig (1M) - configure or unconfigure keyboard, display and
mouse options for OpenWindows and internalization
You can follow these two steps (I suggest in single-user mode) :
1) kdmconfig -u
(This unconfigure your console-configuration)
2) kdmconfig -cf
(This allow you to configure properly your system)
BTW /etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig is the ASCII-file were the
informations are stored.

Yes.
kdmconfig -u
kdmconfig -v
Please refer to 'man kdmconfig' for more information.
Tony.
