How can I change the screen resolution?

[Francisco J. Soler]

How can I change the screen resolution in my HP B2000, with HP-UX 10.20 ACE?
I am working with CDE.

Thanks.
Frank.

Hi,

i'm not familar with B2000 but i think to change resolution you have to interrupt boot sequesnce (ESC key) and then use the
monitor
command within the boot admin menu.
At HP9000/715 there is such command which dieplays a menu with different resolution choices.

Hi,

please refer to:
http://www.hp.com/visualize/support/shared_unix/manuals/A5983-90001.pdf
There you can see how to change monitor type (resolution)
It can be also done with SAM: Display -> Monitor configuration

In general this can be done in two ways:

- at boot time by interacting with the boot console

- at run time by running setmon, located in /opt/graphics/common/bin/

The list of valid resolutions varies by graphics card and setmon reports the valid
set of resolutions.
