NAME

rs170 − turn on/off rs170 video mode

SYNOPSIS

rs170 on|off

DESCRIPTION

rs170 on sets the graphics subsystem into rs170 mode, and rs170 off restores the video to high-resolution.  In rs170 mode, the upper left 640 by 480 pixels will be visible on a low resolution RGB monitor. 

It is recommended that “ rs170 off ” be bound to some key/button combination under the window system, such as <META><SHIFT><CONTROL><Right-Button>.  This way, independent of where the cursor is or the state of the window system, the monitor can be returned to high-resolution mode.
