662.0. "Need help with a ghostly picture" by VINO::LLAVIN () Mon Apr 24 1989 13:51




		I have a VS2000 system that was been down-graded from a
color system to a monochrome system. None of the color memory boards were 
removed or anything/ we just put a vt260 in place of a vt290. We used the 
same cable and connected the green lead to the back of the terminal. The 
screen we now get is ghosty and blurry. I have been told how to fix it 
for VWS but need to know how to fix it for DECwindows to get rid of the 
ghosts and shadows. Tried to customize the screen colors but that didn't
seem to help...

	any ideas


	help!!!

	in sys$specific:[sysmgr]DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM put the following line: $ DECW$COLOR == "FALSE" That should fix it Jeff

	You must create it.
662.4	Start with the template file	STAR::BMATTHEWS		`Mon Apr 24 1989 15:48`	4
	There should be a decw$private_server_setup.template that you can use to create it. Bill

662.6	I needed terminators also	RWCVAX::COULSON	Roger Coulson DTN 223-6158	`Tue Apr 25 1989 09:43`	12
	RE:.0 and others I found I had to put terminators on the RED and BLUE cables to get the ghosts to go away completely. I didn't have any 75 ohm terminators so I used some 50 ohm ThinWire terminators. I had set up the grayscale command (DECW$COLOR == "FALSE") and the Session Customization came up correctly with Grayscales but it appears that the terminators are needed to eliminate reflections on the cable. /s/ Roger
