Someone's got to know... Screen resolution question.
Hi all,
Someone please help, I have a machine running Sun Solaris 5.8.
X used to run fine, not it can't start. (possible user intervention)
It looks to be trying to run at 1280x1024. I don't think the hardware will support it, it seems high.
Anyways, how from the commandline, via ssh, can I change the resolution?
I would like it to be 1024x768 @ 60 hz.
Can this be set via the command line via ssh? If not can it be done via the command line sitting in front of the machine, eitherway, how do I do this?
Thank you.
