Hi Ralphe,
This all depends upon what framebuffer you have
installed in the Ultra1 boxes-- I'll punt and give
you the following advice:
Check the excellent Sun Framebuffer FAQ available
at www.sunhelp.org. Find your framebuffer and check
the supported resolutions. You can then check them
against what the monitor will support. Be sure to
double check the OBP settings for the framebuffer
(as described within the FAQ) to be sure they don't
default to something wierd.
