For the PBXGA-BA, the settings should be something like
[from src/sys/dev/ic/decmonitors.c]:
struct monitor decmonitors[] = {
/* 0x0: 1280 x 1024 @ 72Hz */
/* 0x1: 1280 x 1024 @ 66Hz */
/* 0x2: 1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz */
/* 0x3: 1152 x 900 @ 72Hz */
/* 0x4: 1600 x 1200 @ 65Hz */
/* 0x5: 1024 x 768 @ 70Hz */
/* 0x6: 1024 x 768 @ 72Hz */
/* 0x7: 1024 x 864 @ 60Hz */
/* 0x8: 1024 x 768 @ 60Hz */
/* 0x9: 800 x 600 @ 72Hz */
/* 0xa: 800 x 600 @ 60Hz */
/* 0xb: 640 x 480 @ 72Hz */
/* 0xc: 640 x 480 @ 60Hz */
/* 0xd: 1280 x 1024 @ 75Hz */
/* 0xe: 1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz */
/* 0xf: 1600 x 1200 @ 75Hz */
/* XXX -- this one's weird. rcd */
};
where the `interesting bits' have been deleted. Now, I can't
remember whether up is one or zero and where the most significant
bit is. :-) But, I think that it is up == 1, down == 0, and set
them in normal reading order, so for 0x1: down down down up.
0xf is not supported on most models, and I don't have a card that
supports it, so I can't verify that it works properly.
