Hello Ted,
I ran the "prtconf -F" command on the Ultra 5 Guru and recieved this output:
/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/sunw,m64B@2
I didn't notice any reference to "afb or ffb" anywhere. I assume the Ultra
5's have a different type of graphics. With the output given above, do you
know which utility i would use to adjust the systems resolution?
Thanks for your help.

I'm CC'ing this to bugs as it appears to be an
issue for the release.
Sounds like the resolution needs to be reset
with either ffbconfig or
afbconfig.
Which one depends on which kind of graphics card
he has, which can be
determined with prtconf -F (the result should
contain either afb or
ffb in it somewhere).
It needs to be run as root. 'ffbconfig -prconf'
will show the info
and 'ffbconfig -res <resolution>' appear to be
the relevant commands
(similarly for afbconfig). The resolution should
be chosen from the
list given by the first command.
Hopefully that's all that's needed (I haven't
tested it).
