8751.0. "Video Resolution on DEC3000" by VAXRIO::63116::CARDOSO () Fri Feb 07 1997 08:07

     

      Hi,

      How can I check the video resolution in use in a DEC3000/300 Worksta-
tion?  Is it possible to change the resolution that the system seted up au-
tomatically?  The system is running with OSF/1 V3.2.

      Thanks,

      Daniel

8751.1Resoltion on TC graphicsNETRIX::"[email protected]"Paul GristFri Feb 07 1997 09:1718
The DEC3000 has a turbochannel bus and an older
set of graphics cards.  The standard cards for
that system are the PMAGB-BA and PMAGD-xx which
both operate only at 1280x1024.  Not sure what you
wanted to change it to, but it can't be changed
as far as I know (1280 is considered quite good,
and higher resolutions or only becoming available
just now on commercial high end graphics cards).

sizer -gt will tell you the graphics card name
and sizer -gr will tell you what resolution its
running.  For help understanding what graphics
card sizer -gt is see:
