O may not always be entirely up-to-date with the latest SGI graphics boards. If the quality of the graphics is low, experiment with setting the environment variable ONO_GR_TYPE. It may assume the following values (931102):
ONO_VGX ONO_GTX ONO_PI ONO_INDIGO
Set the value as follows before starting O:
setenv ONO_GR_TYPE ONO_GTX
