Thanks to all with helpful information. I apologize to those who tried to
help with what little technical information I provided.
The general consensus is to evaluate features in the "Xservers" file to
specify a screen resolution. The Xdec man page has all the features I
needed to know, including "-screenN" and "-syncN".
In addition, the video card needs to be considered in determining the
appropriate resolution options. In our case, we have an AlphaServer 2000
5/300, which has a very utilitarian video card. This card (ATI Mach64 GX)
is meant for functionality, not for multiple resolutions. Since this is a
workhorse server, the video card is really only meant to provide console
features.
I once again thank those who contributed to this discovery.
