tru64 ES40 GRAPHICS_CONTROLLER resolution settings

Hello
I have a resolution problem when I run SMOR on our ES40 running TRU64 version 5.1A.

I cannot view the entire screen and the menu options. This is difficult as I need to configure new drives this evening:

When I run a /sbin/hwmgr get attribute -category graphics_controller I get the output below:
I believe I need to change the X_resolution to 1024 and the Y_resolution to 768 (these match another identical system where I can view the entire SMOR menu).

The options are not 'settable'... I require instruction on how to set these resolution options?

Thanks
Jane
