Monitor Support

The RADEON 7500 card has two built-in video connectors: an analog VGA connector and a
DVI-I connector. You can plug analog monitors or flat panel monitors with VGA interface
into the RADEON 7500 card's video connectors.
Only analog interface on DVI connector is supported. The DVI-I to VGA connector adapter
supplied with the RADEON 7500 card must be installed on the card to connect a monitor to
that port. The monitor(s) you plan to use must already be plugged into the RADEON 7500
card when you power cycle your machine or when you initialize from the system Console.

Determining Current Settings

To find the current settings under OpenVMS, issue the following commands, in order, at the
DCL prompt:
$ @decw$utils:decw$define_utils
$ xdpyinfo
In addition, you can show the following logical names at the DCL prompt:
$ SHOW LOGICAL/SYSTEM DECW$SERVER_PIXEL_DEPTH
$ SHOW LOGICAL/SYSTEM DECW$SERVER_REFRESH_RATE
$ SHOW LOGICAL/TABLE=DECW$SERVER* DECW$XSIZE_IN_PIXELS
$ SHOW LOGICAL/TABLE=DECW$SERVER* DECW$YSIZE_IN_PIXELS
$ SHOW LOGICAL/TABLE=DECW$SERVER* DECW$SERVER_DEFAULT_VISUAL_CLASS
If any logical name is not defined, then the respective default is in effect
(see Section 4.5.1).
Alternatively, you can also view the following error log file to determine
current settings:
$ TYPE SYS$MANAGER:DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG
