----wwww On systems which support ----xxxx, specifies that _f_o_r_m_a_t is to be loaded
now, and also that _f_o_r_m_a_t will be used as the default when the X
server restarts. (----wwww is like ----xxxx, but in addition, the specified
video format is loaded into the hardware immediately.)
----gggg Enables genlock (external video clock).
This option is not supported on CCCCRRRRMMMM graphics.
----tttt Specifies that genlock input operates at TTL levels rather than
nominal video levels (only applicable when genlock is specified).
----TTTT Specifies that sync output should be at TTL levels rather than
nominal video levels. Currently only supported on RRRReeeeaaaalllliiiittttyyyyEEEEnnnnggggiiiinnnneeee;
other systems default to TTL levels.
----GGGG Specifies that genlock input is through the GREEN input rather than
the SYNC input (only applicable when genlock is specified).
----ssss_s_y_n_c_s_e_l_e_c_t
Specifies the source of the sync signal. _s_y_n_c_s_e_l_e_c_t is any
combination of rrrr, gggg, bbbb, and aaaa to represent the sync signal on the
same combination of the red, green, blue, and alpha video cables.
If _s_y_n_c_s_e_l_e_c_t is nnnn, the sync signal will be generated on the sync
cable. If _s_y_n_c_s_e_l_e_c_t is not specified, the sync signal will default
to the green cable.
----jjjj_g_e_n_l_o_c_k_d_e_l_a_y
Specifies the number of pixels to adjust the display, relative to
the genlock input signal. Currently, only supported on GGGGRRRR2222 graphics
((((EEEEllllaaaannnn,,,, EEEExxxxttttrrrreeeemmmmeeee,,,, XXXXSSSS oooorrrr XXXXZZZZ)))) for NTSC and PAL monitors. Positive
values move display to the left, and negative values move display to
the right. Must be used with the -g option.
----FFFF_i_n_p_u_t__s_i_g_n_a_l
On systems with GGGGRRRR2222 graphics ((((EEEEllllaaaannnn,,,, EEEExxxxttttrrrreeeemmmmeeee,,,, XXXXSSSS oooorrrr XXXXZZZZ)))), _i_n_p_u_t__s_i_g_n_a_l
specifies whether the input signal used for framelocking is
interlaced (----FFFFiiii) or non-interlaced (----FFFFnnnn).
On IIIInnnnddddyyyy XXXXLLLL graphics systems, it specifies whether the input signal
used for framelocking comes from Vino (----FFFFvvvv) or Galileo (----FFFFgggg) video.
On IIIInnnnddddiiiiggggoooo2222 XXXXLLLL systems, it specifies whether the input signal used
for framelocking comes from the backplane (----FFFFvvvv) or Galileo (----FFFFgggg)
video.
On IIIInnnnddddiiiiggggoooo2222 oooorrrr OOOOCCCCTTTTAAAANNNNEEEE systems with IIIIMMMMPPPPAAAACCCCTTTT graphics, it specifies
whether the input signal used for framelocking is an internal (----FFFFiiii)
supports the standard names 50HZ, 60HZ, 72HZ, 76HZ, STR_RECT,
STR_BOT, and STR_TOP. Also, _f_o_r_m_a_t may be the name of one of
the video format files (minus the '.vfo' extension). These
files reside in the directory /usr/gfx/ucode/MGRAS/vof for
IIIInnnnddddiiiiggggoooo2222 HHHHiiiigggghhhh IIIImmmmppppaaaacccctttt and SSSSoooolllliiiidddd IIIImmmmppppaaaacccctttt and OOOOCCCCTTTTAAAANNNNEEEE SSSSIIII and SSSSSSSSIIII
systems. (Systems with one RRRREEEE.) The directory is
/usr/gfx/ucode/MGRAS/vof/2RSS for IIIInnnnddddiiiiggggoooo2222 MMMMaaaaxxxxiiiimmmmuuuummmm IIIImmmmppppaaaacccctttt and
OOOOCCCCTTTTAAAANNNNEEEE MMMMXXXXIIII systems, which have two RRRREEEE's.
The following letters at the end of a format name signify:
pppp format is for a Flat-Panel Display.
ssss format is for stereo.
____33332222ddddbbbb allows deep (32-bit) double-buffered visuals, but with
no Z.
____ppppbbbbuuuuffff allows programs to allocate pbuffers in the Z
To get composite video output from other systems, you may choose to
purchase an encoder option such as the CG3 or BVO (which encodes the 525
or 625 component RGB formats into true NTSC and PAL respectively), or a
video peripheral product which provides composite output from an external
frame buffer.
_s_e_t_m_o_n does not control the composite outputs of RRRReeeeaaaalllliiiittttyyyyEEEEnnnnggggiiiinnnneeee or
IIIInnnnffffiiiinnnniiiitttteeeeRRRReeeeaaaalllliiiittttyyyy. For RRRReeeeaaaalllliiiittttyyyyEEEEnnnnggggiiiinnnneeee, the composite output is controlled
by the _v_o_u_t command. For IIIInnnnffffiiiinnnniiiitttteeeeRRRReeeeaaaalllliiiittttyyyy, it is controlled by the
_i_r_c_o_m_b_i_n_e(_1_g) command.
On systems that support custom video output formats, a user-defined
format may be selected by placing the file containing the VOF into the
appropriate /_u_s_r/_g_f_x/_u_c_o_d_e/_v_o_f subdirectory. A given user-defined format
may then be selected by specifying the file name as the _f_o_r_m_a_t argument.

/usr/gfx/setmon -s g 30HZ
sets the video output format to 30 Hz, sync-on-green.
/usr/gfx/setmon -x 1280x1024_60
sets a RRRReeeeaaaalllliiiittttyyyyEEEEnnnnggggiiiinnnneeee, IIIInnnnffffiiiinnnniiiitttteeeeRRRReeeeaaaalllliiiittttyyyy, IIIIMMMMPPPPAAAACCCCTTTT or CCCCRRRRMMMM to run 1280 x

/usr/gfx/setmon -x -s b 640x480_180q
sets a RRRReeeeaaaalllliiiittttyyyyEEEEnnnnggggiiiinnnneeee or IIIInnnnffffiiiinnnniiiitttteeeeRRRReeeeaaaalllliiiittttyyyy to run 640 x 480 x 180 Hz

/usr/gfx/setmon -g -s rgb vof3
sets the video output format to the VOF contained in the file vof3.u
found in the appropriate /_u_s_r/_g_f_x/_u_c_o_d_e/_v_o_f subdirectory. The
format is genlocked and with sync-on-red/green/blue.

1. Above, IIIIMMMMPPPPAAAACCCCTTTT graphics also refers to:
IIIIMMMMPPPPAAAACCCCTTTTPPPPCCCC (Impact graphics on IP28)
and
IIIIMMMMPPPPAAAACCCCTTTTSSSSRRRR (Impact graphics on OCTANE).
2. Even if you use
/usr/gfx/setmon -n
to change the display resolution to something other than the
resolution that was active when the X server was started, X will
continue to manage a framebuffer area of the original size and
resolution. However, if the new size set by setmon is smaller than
the orignal size, then part of the framebuffer will be unviewable.
3. On IIIIMMMMPPPPAAAACCCCTTTT and CCCCRRRRMMMM, some formats may not be loadable using
/usr/gfx/setmon -n
because those formats require the X server to change its notion of
the screen resolution or the available visuals. To change to these
formats, it is necessary to use
/usr/gfx/setmon -x
and restart the X server.
In addition, the pixel depth on RRRReeeeaaaalllliiiittttyyyyEEEEnnnnggggiiiinnnneeee and IIIInnnnffffiiiinnnniiiitttteeeeRRRReeeeaaaalllliiiittttyyyy is
not changed by
/usr/gfx/setmon -n.
To change pixel depth it is necessary to use
/usr/gfx/setmon -x
and restart the X server.
4. On GGGGRRRR2222 graphics ((((EEEEllllaaaannnn,,,, EEEExxxxttttrrrreeeemmmmeeee,,,, XXXXSSSS oooorrrr XXXXZZZZ)))), the X server must be
running before using _s_e_t_m_o_n. On IIIIMMMMPPPPAAAACCCCTTTT graphics, _s_e_t_m_o_n must be run
with the ----xxxx and ----pppp options if the X server is not running.
5. On systems with GGGGRRRR2222 graphics ((((EEEEllllaaaannnn,,,, EEEExxxxttttrrrreeeemmmmeeee,,,, XXXXSSSS oooorrrr XXXXZZZZ)))), sync appears
on the red, green, and blue signals, by default. But you can use the
----ssss <<<<rrrr,,,,gggg,,,,bbbb,,,,nnnn>>>>
option to specify otherwise. Sync is always on the sync pin.
6. /usr/gfx/setmon -g -j 10 NTSC
sets the video output format to NTSC, and adjusts display by 10
pixels to the left, relative to the genlock input signal.
7. /usr/gfx/setmon -g -j -10 NTSC
sets the video output format to NTSC, and adjusts display by 10
pixels to the right, relative to the genlock input signal.
8. _S_T_R__B_O_T is used to turn on full-screen stereo, and signals the X
server that the bottom half of the screen is to be displayed as the
primary buffer. _S_T_R__T_O_P is used to turn on full-screen stereo, and
signals the X server that the top half of the screen is to be
