Problem with screen resolution

Hello,

I just upgraded an Alpha 2000 running DU 3.2D-1 to DU 4.0B. Everything went just fine, except that after the upgrade the resolution of the console dropt down to 640x480 instead of 1024x768 before. I am using XDM, not CDE. I tried adding -screen0 1024 to the /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers file, but this makes no difference.

The thing that puzzles me is that on 4.0B sizer -gr reports 640x480 and sizer -gt reports VGA, whereas on 3.2D-1 sizer -gr reported 1024x768 and sizer -gt reported ATI64. Is my machine no longer recognizing the ATI board ?

Any ideas on how to get things right again ?

Thanks in advance for any help you can come up with.
