The new monitor selection will either take effect the next time you reboot the workstation
if this is a non-console monitor, or immediately if this is a console monitor. The boot console
also displays the new monitor information.
Trying to change the monitor type to a number not listed for that graphics device fails and
gives you the following warning message:
Value of monitor type
n
out of range (

nn
)
NOTE Changing the monitor type on an empty slot works; the monitor type will be
saved for a future graphics card.
