From the original Amiga UNIX 2.1 manual. Some things it mentions may not be in this release.

A2024 - Determines whether high resolution mode is on or off.

ln /bin/true /usr/amiga/bin/A2024

You link /usr/amiga/bin/A2024 to either /bin/true or /bin/false to turn high resolution mode on or off. Linking it to /bin/true turns high resolution on. Linking it to /bin/false turns high resolution off.

You can also use I. sioc setdisplaytype to turn high resolution on or off for a session. Linking A2024 to /bin/true or /bin/false determines whether your computer boots in high resolution mode. sioc setdisplaytype lets you toggle high resolution on or off for the current session. Type sioc setdisplaytype +4 to turn high resolution on for a session. Type sioc setdisplaytype -4 to turn high resolution off for a session.

Turn high resolution mode on:

ln /bin/true /usr/amiga/bin/A2024

Turn high resolution mode off:

ln /bin/true /usr/amiga/bin/A2024

/bin/false - link to /usr/amiga/bin/A2024 to turn high resolution off.

/bin/true - link to /usr/amiga/bin/A2024 to enable high resolution mode.
