[geeks] X11 display resolution in AIX5L

[Mark Benson]

Having a quandary here...

I ran up my RS/6000 B50 with a new 73GB 15k drive in it today (much quieter
even with the resonance from a 15k disc spindle) and installed a fresh copy of
AIX 5L. All went peachy except I never have worked out how to alter the screen
resolution for the local terminal in CDE. I have a GXT130P in it which isn't
exactly a stunning card (Matrox Millenium or something with 4 or 8MB?) but it
seems to be locked at 1024x768 @ 60Hz and 8-bit. I'd ideally prefer 1280x1024
or 1600x1200 @ 60Hz. Colour depth isn't vitally important as I doubt graphics
work is gonna happen on it!

SMIT offers me no resolution choices only Type: Default and Resolution and
Refresh Rate: Default - am I screwed and need a better graphics card?
