Couple of Tru64 questions from a Solaris user
|

How do you tell what video card/driver is being used?
How do you set display resolution for CDE?
I've tried editing /usr/var/X11/Xserver.conf and even
/etc/dt/config/Xservers, but CDE still comes up at the login with
1280x1024, when my KVM needs 1024x768.
Thanks,
Kevin

I usually look at the /var/adm/messages.
Does someone know a better method?

Check if your card as a rotary switch. This switch is used to select the
resolution.
This is the case notably for PowerStorm 3D30 (PBXGB-AA) and PowerStorm
4D20 (PBXGB-CA). Those cards are reported as tga, looks at the
/var/adm/messages. If you see a line like
tga0: depth xx, map size yy Mb, 1280x1024
then you have a PowerStorm card.

Loic

Thanks Loic,
I did finally find that switch today after searching DEC/COMPAQ/HP's
website on the model number. ;) The card was a 3D30, so I switched to
number 8 and it came up fine.
Thanks for the info,
Kevin
