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.

4. Restart the GUI using the appropriate method.

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
