running 5.1a on PWS500au with Plasma display capable of 1280x1024 @ 75Hz.
Had a couple of suggestions (Jon Norstog and Martin Andersen) to
"At the end of the line in Xservers for either xdm or cde, add "-screen
1024x768" or " -screen 800x600" "
and from Jon
/***/
login as root
see if you have /etc/dt/config, if not
#mkdir /etc/dt/config
#chmod 755 /etc/dt/config
copy the Xservers file into it from /usr/dt/config
maybe #cp /usr/dt/config/Xservers /etc/dt/config/Xservers
edit the /etc/dt/config/Xservers line for your screen and color depth,
and refresh rate.
for example
:0 -screen0 1280x1024 -vclass TrueColor -depth24 -vsync0 70
then you have to restart the Xserver for the changes to kick in
/***/
In looking at the file, it appears you also need to copy Xconfig. Do I
need to change anything here?
The syntax of these files reminds of the old Sendmail stuff (complaint!)
It would be helpful if someone could give me copies of files they use
OK I can make these changes but How do I restart the Xserver?
