3.2.4 Backing Store and Save Unders By default, backing store and save unders are enabled. If the default visual depth is changed to 16 or 24, it is recommended that backing store and save unders be disabled. To disable these features, add the options "-bs -su" to the argument list in the X server’s configuration file. Refer to the example in Section 3.2.3. 3.3 Configuring Graphics Resolution or Vertical Refresh Rate for Tru64 UNIX There are two X server related files that can be u

3.3.3 How to Determine which GUI is in Use 1. Check the environment variable XLOGIN defined in the file /etc/rc.config. Example (showing the CDE GUI being used): # /usr/sbin/rcmgr get XLOGIN cde # 1. If the variable is defined to be "cde," then the default GUI is CDE. If the variable is defined to be "xdm," then the default GUI is XDM/Motif. How to Change the Resolution and Refresh Rate on XDM GUI 1. Log in to the system as "root". 2. Make a backup copy of the file /usr/lib/X11/xd

Please refer to Table 3–1 for supported Resolutions and Refresh Rates. • Both the Width and Height should be specified in the "-screen" option and not just the Width. On some X server graphics devices setting ONLY the Width will cause the X server to fail. • The [screen] number need not be specified if only one screen exists or if the use

4. Edit the file /etc/dt/config/Xservers and add the appropriate X server Option, "-screen0" and or "-vsync0" to the line that starts the X server. This line is generally the last line in the file Xservers. Example line from the Xservers file used with CDE: :0 Local local@console /usr/bin/X11/X :0 -screen0 1280x1024 X server Options: Set screen (W)width and (H)height. -screen[screen] WxH Set screen (Hz) Vertical refresh rate -vsync[screen] Hz ___________________________Note
