2–8   9FX Vision 330 (PCI) Graphics Option

To change to any of the other supported resolution and refresh modes,
perform the following steps:

1.  Change directory to /

var/X11/xdm

:

 

# 

cd /var/X11/xdm

2.  Change the mode of Xservers:
 

# 

chmod +w Xservers

3.  Edit the file 

Xservers

:

 

# 

vi Xservers

4.  At the end of the line that reads:    

                                                                                        

:0 local /usr/bin/X11/X -nice

 ..

Append the command line switches that correspond to the resolution
and vsync (vertical synchronization) desired from the table. For
example, 1024 x 768 at 70 Hz would be:

 

:0 local /usr/bin/X11/X -nice -screen0 1024 -vsync 70

5.  When the editing is complete, save the file and perform a shutdown

with automatic reboot to affect the changes:

 

# 

shutdown -r now

  OpenVMS Alpha Installation

OpenVMS Alpha Version 6.2-1H1 or 6.2-1H2 (minimum version) already
includes the driver software required by the Vision 330 graphics option.

If you have purchased a Digital AlphaServer system or a workstation that
already has the Vision 330 graphics option installed, and you choose to use
the factory-installed software, you do not need to take further action.
However, you can change the display resolution and vertical
synchronization frequency.
