X Windows NC900 workstation config on HP-UX

[Steven E. Protter]

I have an NCD NC900 workstation with 256 MB of RAM sucessfully booting into CDE using NCD bridge software.

One little complaint. The screen resolution is 640 by 480. That makes our operators glance displays look a little ugly. They also can't easily monitor as many machines as they need to monitor.

So. I got smart (wise guy!) and did this:

cd /usr/tekxp

find . exec grep -l '640' {} \;

I found a file called xp.conf and changed the default settings to 1280 by 1024. The doc lists that as a valid configuration.

I booted the NC900 again and it totally ignored my settings.

Does anyone know what configuration file to edit to actually effect the screen resolution when this thing boots.

If anyone works with one of these things, this should be a great rabbit gathering op.

Peter,

I am going to give you 10 points, just for finding this stale old question.

Thanks for digging deep. I will try this when I get back to america.

se monset -1 will cause the NC to cycle thru all settings

press space key to stop at a setting
press F1 to accept
F4 for previous
Press any other for next

NB after pressing F1 setting automatically saved in NVRAM

no points please.
