Compaq Tru64 UNIX Configuration 3-5

___________________________ Note ____________________________

These are device dependent X server options and not available for ALL graphics
options. Please refer to Table 3–1 for supported Resolutions and Refresh Rates.

Both the Width and Height should be specified in the "-screen" option and not just
the Width. On some X server graphics devices setting ONLY the Width will cause
the X server to fail.

The [screen] number need not be specified if only one screen exists or if the user
wants all screens to use the same values. The [screen] value is generally '0' as
shown in the example below.
Example:

-screen0 1280x1024

^

|_ [screen] value

Anything added after the "-I" option will be ignored by the X server and passed on
to the DDX, Device Dependent X layer of the server. The "-screen" and or "-
vsync" option(s) should precede the "-I" option.

How to Change the Resolution and Refresh Rate on CDE GUI

1. Log in to the system as "root".

2. Check to see if the directory /etc/dt/config exists. If not, create it as follows:

Example:

# mkdir /etc/dt/config
# chmod 755 /etc/dt/config

3. Copy the Xservers file from the path

/usr/dt/config

to the path

/etc/dt/config

.

Example:

# cp /usr/dt/config/Xservers /etc/dt/config/Xservers
