How to change resolution of HP-UX DCE?

[Ryan Gu]

I want to change my display solution and refresh rate.

Such as:
old resulotion: 1600 x 1200 75MHz
new resulotion: 1024 x 768 100MHz

How can I do?

I remember it seems to modify a file. But I forgot the file name.

man setmon.

# setmon will be useful for this.
# setmon -r Report monitor settings and available choices

Use the following setmon command:

/opt/graphics/common/bin/setmon

setmon is a program that allows you to change video formats. When you run setmon, it will print a table of available formats. The first
number on each line is an index. Enter the index number for the entry you want to use and setmon will change the card to match. The change can be either temporary (until next boot) or permanent. Similar functionality is available in sam. The -h option gives limited help.

Hi Jason,

You can do it also via SAM.
Display->Monitor Configuration-> Appropriate Connector -> Actions -> Modify Monitor Type
You can choose and test the settings.
