Subject: SUMMARY:sun fire v240 possible graphics console

Thanks for the quick turnaround! The answer is YES! (I thought it would be no) my graphics card will work in the Sun Fire v240 so that I can put it on a KVM switch. I had already issued a boot -r after installing the card so the system knew the card was there I just had to issue 2 commands to the PROM.

setenv output-device screen
setenv input-device keyboard

Just for the archives my graphics card is model # X3668A, a Sun PGX32 PCI color frame buffer.

Now the only sad thing is that I have a Black Box ServeSwitch Ultra which means I have to have a separate keyboard since this one is USB and the switch doesn't support USB. Already have an extra keyboard sitting out for my Mac server.

Thanks a bunch to the following....
Kent Perrier, Daniel Pettersson, Thomas Walter, Vinh Tran, Michael Horton, Skip Hammack and Sean Walmsley.
