My customer complains that his AlphaServer 2000 5/300 system is
incapable of running in 1280x1024 mode using the default ISA Mach64
card. The O/S is VMS V6.2-1H3. The monitor is a VRT17.
The SOC mentions that 1280x1024 mode is supported. The most resolution
the customer is able to use is 1024x768. Anything more causes the
corrupted display with wrong colors and distorted images.
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks

| 2508.1 | Make sure his monitor can support 1280 X 1024 | TRLIAN::mkodhcp-46128234.mko.dec.com::Lail | Robert G. Lail | Wed Feb 05 1997 11:42 | 11 |
RE .0 What monitor does the customer have? The VRC15 is not capable of 1280 X 1024. The VRT17 and VRC21 both are capable of 1280 X 1024. If the customer has a third party monitor then he must check to be sure it supports 1280 X 1024 at 72 Hz. \Bob Lail | |||||

| 2508.3 | CHeck to see if OpenVMS supports 1280 X 1024 | TRLIAN::mkodhcp-46128234.mko.dec.com::Lail | Robert G. Lail | Thu Feb 06 1997 12:57 | 22 |
RE .2 I guess I need to go get my eyes checked again. .0 has VRT17 right there but I missed it. I can't find anywhere in the OpenVMS Alpha SPD, the Open3D SPD or the DEcwindow/MOTIF SPD where supported video modes are stated. The note in the SOC; "� Video adapter included in system supports up to 1280 x 1024 resolution, 72-Hz monitors" is not very clear. All it says is that the Video adapter supports 1280 X 1024, not that OpenVMS or Digital UNIX support that mode of operation. I would ask this question in the OpenVMS notes conference> \Bob Lail | |||||
