The Question is: How do I change the screen resolution of the CDE of an Alpha using a Elsa Gloria Video card. Thanks, Joe The Answer is :
To set the resolution, vertical sync, and or color depth for the ELSA
GLoria Synergy (PBXGK-xx; PowerStorm 4D10T) on OpenVMS, use the following
steps:
1: Check for the file SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM.
If the file exists, skip to step 2.
If the file does not exist, then copy:
SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE
to
SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM
2: Edit SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM to add the following
lines in the Cluster Common or Standalone Workstation Setup area of
the file (along with the other setup options):
This example sets Resolution to 1280x1024, Vertical Sync to 75Hz,
and a Color Depth of 24.
$! Set the Resolution X and Y Size in Pixels:
$ decw$xsize_in_pixels == 1280
$ decw$ysize_in_pixels == 1024
$! Set the Server Visual Depth:
$ define/exec/system/nolog decw$server_pixel_depth 24
$! Set the Vertical Sync Rate (vsync):
$ define/exec/system/nolog decw$server_refresh_rate 75
3: Save the file, and invoke the OpenVMS shutdown and reboot process,
or restart the DECwindows X Server (the DECW$SERVER_0 process) via:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:DECW$STARTUP RESTART
The following resolutions and refresh rates are supported by the 8MB
version of the PowerStorm 4D10T:

640 x 480 8, 16, 24 60, 65, 70, 75, 85 Hz
