Changing screen resolution

SRoth — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 15:10:26 GMT

It's been a while since I installed wide screen graphics monitors on my HPUX systems. At the time I knew how to set the screen resolution to accomodate the wider screen and give a good image. Now the wide monitor died and was replaced with a standard size monitor.

The HPUX systems are configured with CDE. Can anybody refresh my memory as to the command to change the screen resolution?

Thanks!

Sorry, your response was for a Windows computer. I need to change the HP display.

I know how to do it via SAM but thought there was a command I could use from the shell.
