Sun Changing dpi screen resolution in Solaris 10.

Hi, everyone!

I would like to try OpenStep for Solaris on my Sun Ultra 10 machine, so I installed all required packages, the problem is that OpenStep requires screen DPI to be set to 72x72 while my current dpi is 90x90. So how do I change the dpi?

Thank you!
