Examples of Typical Resolution and Refresh Rate Settings Using
XDM/Motif:
Setting the Screen Resolution to 1024x768 (common on the AlphaServer DS20
systems using the ELSA GLoria Synergy graphics controller).
:0 local /usr/bin/X11/X -nice -2 -screen0 1024x768
Setting the Screen Resolution to 1024x768 and the Vertical Refresh rate to
60Hz. Commonly needed on AlphaServers using the ELSA GLoria Synergy
graphics controller and monitors that do not support the card's default
resolution of 1024x768 at 70Hz.
:0 local /usr/bin/X11/X -screen0 1024x768 -vsync0 60
Setting the Screen Resolution to 1280x1024 and the Vertical Refresh Rate to
75Hz. Commonly set up on systems with the ELSA GLoria Synergy graphics
controller.
:0 local /usr/bin/X11/X -screen0 1280x1024 -vsync0 75
How to change the Resolution and Refresh rate on CDE GUI
1. Login 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
4. Edit the file /etc/dt/config/Xservers and add the appropriate X server Option,
"-screen0" and or "-vsync0" to the line that starts the X server. This line
is generally the last line in the file Xservers.
Example line from the Xservers file used with CDE:
:0 Local local@console /usr/bin/X11/X :0 -screen0
1280x1024
X server Options:
-screen[screen] WxH
Set screen (W)width and (H)height.
-vsync[screen] Hz
Set screen (Hz) Vertical refresh rate
