The Question is: In my display settings it only gives me the option for 2 or 16 colors I've tried several differant profiles that are on my computer I can't seem to get the option for more colors The Answer is :
As this question could easily appear to be a reference to a PC system
and to PC-based graphics and graphics configurations, please visit:
http://www.openvms.compaq.com/wizard/pc_question.html
If this is an OpenVMS system, the OpenVMS Wizard will require details
on the VAX or Alpha platform, on the particular graphics controller,
and on the version and ECO of DECwindows installed on the system.
If this is an OpenVMS Alpha system, the number of colours is controlled
by the logical name DECW$SERVER_PIXEL_DEPTH, defined in the file:
SYS$STARTUP:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM
This logical name can take values 8, 16, 24 or 32 -- please check the
documentation for your specific display adapter to find out what pixel
depths are supported. The logical name value can be set up as a search
list, providing different settings for each display in a multi-headed
DECwindows configuration; when there are multiple workstation displays
and associated graphics controllers present. For example, the logical
name:
$ define/exec/system/nolog decw$server_pixel_depth 8,24
sets the primary display to be 256 colours (8 bit) and the secondary to
16777216 colours (24 bit).
If the above does not answer your OpenVMS question, please contact the
Compaq Customer Support Center and please expect to be asked for the
above-mentioned system and software configuration information.
