Depends entirely on the box in question.

Most of the time all you have to do is type the resolution you want 
from the openboot prom:


setenv output-device=screen:r1280x1024x76m


or whatever resolution and refresh rate the monitor will support.  If I 
can use an old Gateway monitor on a Sun U10
then I don't think there'll be an issue.  The setup info BTW is 
shamelessly stolen from Bill's site:
