HP OpenVMS Systems

PBXGB: PowerStorm 3D30, 4D20 resolution settings

» close window

The Question is:

 
the openvms together with CDE and DECWindows was installed to work on a 21"
monitor by mistake and that monitor is used by another computer. i want to
get it to work on a plain 15" 1024*768 monitor. I read the question base and
there was a similar one whe
re you stated the file PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE should be modified as a
.COM, and that somewhere in it should be defined some variables for the X
and Y size. There is no such information in this template file, so I'd ask
for more specific help. I don
't know what are those variables' names, and where exactly in that file
should it be set. Please!
 
The system is equiped with a 3D30 graphics adapter
 

The Answer is :

 
  The PowerStorm 3D30 (PBXGB-AA) has a rotary selector switch on the
  bulkhead of the card, used to select the resolution.  The list of
  settings is included in the controller manual, and reproduced here.
 
  The DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.* file is not involved here.
 
  PowerStorm 3D30 (PBXGB-AA) and PowerStorm 4D20 (PBXGB-CA) settings:
 
    0 1280 x 1024 72
    1 1280 x 1024 66
    2 1280 x 1024 60
    3 1152 x  900 72
    4 1600 x 1200 65 (-CA only)
    5 1024 x  768 70
    6 1024 x  768 72
    7 1024 x  864 60
    8 1024 x  768 60
    9  800 x  600 72
    A  800 x  600 60
    B  640 x  480 72
    C  640 x  480 60
    D 1280 x 1024 75
    E 1280 x 1024 60
    F 1600 x 1200 75 (-CA only)
 
  The PowerStorm 3D30 and PowerStorm 4D20 graphics controllers can
  sometimes be refered to or displayed as the "TGA2".
