Configuring Graphics Resolution or Vertical Refresh Rates for HP-UX

Use the sam (pre HP-UX 11.31 release) or smh (HP-UX 11.31 and later) program to modify the
graphics resolution or refresh rate.

The default graphics resolution and refresh rate on a newly installed system is 1280 x 1024 at
75Hz.

How to Change the Resolution and Refresh Rate

1. Log in to the system as root.
2. Run /usr/sbin/sam (pre HP-UX 11.31 release) or /usr/sbin/smh (HP-UX 11.31 and
later). Select Display->Monitor Configuration. All graphics cards in the system are listed.
Select the graphics device to be updated. From the pull-down menu, select Actions->Modify
Monitor Type. A new menu appears that contains all of the possible resolutions and refresh
rates. Select the new setting and press OK. The selected values will be the new resolution
and refresh rate for the Xserver.
NOTE:
3. Restart the Xserver.

Multihead Support

By default, an HP PCI AMD Radeon 7000 Graphics Adapter appears as a single screen device.
Multihead support for two or more screens is provided through changes to the Xserver's
configuration file which is located at /etc/X11/Xf86Config.
You can change this file by using /usr/bin/sam (pre HP-UX 11.31 release) or /usr/sbin/
smh (HP-UX 11.31 and later). Select Display->X Server Configuration. All graphics cards in the
system are listed. Some may have more than one video connector. Select the cards and video
connectors you want to configure. Then select Actions->Modify Multi-Screen Layout or
Actions->Single Logical Screen (SLS) to configure multiple screens as individual screens or
as a Single Logical Screen.
