4.4 Default Graphics Settings

The default graphics resolution is 1024 x 768. The default refresh rate is 70 Hz
and the default color depth is 8 bits per pixel.

4.5 Determining Current Settings

To find the current settings under OpenVMS, issue the following two
commands, in order, at the DCL prompt:

$ @DECW$UTILS:DECW$DEFINE_UTILS
$ XDPYINFO

In addition, you can show the following logical names at the DCL prompt:

$ SHOW LOGICAL/SYSTEM DECW$SERVER PIXEL_DEPTH

$ SHOW LOGICAL/SYSTEM DECW$SERVER REFRESH_RATE

$ SHOW LOGICAL/TABLE=DECW$SERVER* *SIZE_IN_PIXELS

If any of these logicals is not defined, then the respective default is in effect (see
Section 4.4).

Alternatively, you can also view the following error log file to determine the
current settings:

$ TYPE SYS$MANAGER:DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG

4.6 Overriding

Default

Settings

To override any of the default settings, follow these steps:
1. Copy or rename the

SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE file to
create a new command (.com) file called
DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM.

2. Now make the edits for the settings you want to change using a text editor,

and save the file.
