Hello.
Thanks for response. Yes it was a silly idea to change the resolution
for the cg6.
Most of all told me that i can press L1 (Stop) n or enter the original
resolution at the prom prompt to reset the values and of course it works
(for me i entered the original resolution).
But, i'm someone who makes an error twice, what the solution if i do
the same error on a sparcstation 2 with a turbogx framebuffer and with a
multisync pc monitor connected, no solaris running but sparc linux.
I have tried all tips but the screen is black. I have tested the
monitor on another machine and it works. Could the framebuffer be
broken?

Thanks again
Wolfgang
