- Hello.
-
- I posted a message earlier in the week, but haven't had any replies - don't even know if it got posted.
- The problem is below:
-
-
- We have a DN4500 running SR10.3 (no patches) which has an 8 plane 19 inch colour monitor.
-
- The command "lcm" was typed in at one of the pads and this changed the colour map.
- The question is, how do I get it back to "normal".
-
- I have tried:
-
- lcm this leaves it in this new different colour scheme.
- lcm -p /sys/dm/color_map again, leaves it in this new scheme
- lcm -r (wrong hardware)
- lcm -rgb444 (not found)
- lcm -rgb332 changes it to an even worse colour scheme
- lcm -p /sys/node_data/etc/dm_display/color_map.rgb screen goes black
- lcm -p /sys/node_data/etc/dm_display/color_map.rgb332 as -rgb332 option
- lcm -x no (obvious) effect
-
- I've also copied the /sys/node_data/etc/dm_display tree across from another node, but it makes no
- difference. Rebooting the machine makes no difference either.
-
- Booting the machine diskless of a DN2500 still doesn't 'put things right', it still keeps its new
- colour scheme. This seems to imply that it isn't anything stored on disk, so where could it be
- stored? The monitor from a 4 plane coulr machine also shows the new colour scheme on the DN4500.
- It can't be a hardware fault surely?
-
- (I went through 'ex config' and the monitor is set correctly. It doesn't seem to make any difference
- changing it to the 4 plane monitor anyway.)
-
- Please tell me if you know how to fix this, or what is wrong.
- Thanks,
-
