861.0. "CDE and more than 640x480?" by COL01::SCHNEIDER (It's always too early to late.) Tue Mar 25 1997 12:33

    I've installed Digital Unix 4.0A on a AlphaServer 1000 4/200 (190MHz
    CPU) and the display resolution is 640x480. Is it possible to change it
    to higher resolutions?
    
    I saw note 131 which says how to do it with the Xserver file. I changed
    this file and still have the old display. 
    What has to be changed that the CDE display get higer resolutions?
    
    I'm not a Unix expert.
    
    Thank you for your help
    
    Regards

    I found it by myself.
    
    # mkdir /etc/dt/config
    # cp /usr/dt/config/Xserver /etc/dt/config/Xserver
    # cd /etc/dt/config
    # vi Xserver
    
    append to the line -screen 800 that it looks similar to
    
    0:  Local  local@console /usr/bin/X11/X  :0 -screen 800
    
    Hope this helps someone

    re: -1
    
    you may want to add '-vsync 70' to the end of that line.
