The Question is:

 
How do I change the screen resolution of the CDE of an Alpha using a Elsa
 Gloria Video card.
 
Thanks,

The Answer is :

 
  To set the resolution, vertical sync, and or color depth for the ELSA
  GLoria Synergy (PBXGK-xx; PowerStorm 4D10T) on OpenVMS, use the following
  steps:
 
    1: Check for the file SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM.
       If the file exists, skip to step 2.
 
       If the file does not exist, then copy:
 
         SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE
         to
         SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM
 
    2: Edit SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM to add the following
       lines in the Cluster Common or Standalone Workstation Setup area of
       the file (along with the other setup options):
 
       This example sets Resolution to 1280x1024, Vertical Sync to 75Hz,
       and a Color Depth of  24.
 
         $! Set the Resolution X and Y Size in Pixels:
         $ decw$xsize_in_pixels == 1280
         $ decw$ysize_in_pixels == 1024
         $! Set the Server Visual Depth:
         $ define/exec/system/nolog decw$server_pixel_depth  24
         $! Set the Vertical Sync Rate (vsync):
         $ define/exec/system/nolog decw$server_refresh_rate 75
 
    3: Save the file, and invoke the OpenVMS shutdown and reboot process,
       or restart the DECwindows X Server (the DECW$SERVER_0 process) via:
 
         $ @SYS$STARTUP:DECW$STARTUP RESTART
 
 
  The following resolutions and refresh rates are supported by the 8MB
  version of the PowerStorm 4D10T:
 
    Resolution     Color Depths     Refresh Rates
 
     640 x  480    8, 16, 24        60, 65, 70, 75, 85 Hz
     800 x  600    8, 16, 24        60, 65, 70, 75, 85 Hz
    1024 x  768    8, 16, 24        60, 65, 70, 75, 85 Hz
    1152 x  870    8, 16, 24        60, 65, 70, 75, 85 Hz
    1152 x  900    8, 16, 24        60, 65, 70, 75, 85 Hz
    1280 x 1024    8, 16, 24        60, 65, 70, 75 Hz
    1600 x 1200    8, 16            60, 65, 70, 75 Hz
    1600 x 1280    8, 16            60, 65, 70, 75 Hz
    1920 x 1080    8, 16            60, 65, 70, 75 Hz
    1920 x 1200    8, 16            60, 65, 70, 75 Hz
