There are two ways to configure it. The recommended way is to use the
'afbconfig' utility which is specific to the Elite3D-m3/m6 framebuffers.
You'll find it in /usr/sbin.

The other way is to configure the NVRAM with a default display size by
changing the setting of 'output-device' from the standard setting of
'screen' to something which specifies a set of display parameters like
'screen:r1280x1024x76' (which is what I use with the Elite3D-m6 in this
Ultra 60 which is connected to a HP 17" flat-panel LCD monitor).
