I would like to know how to increase the video resolution on the graphics
console and what resolutions are available. A partial solution from
archives is below (Solution by Dr. Blinn and Jim Williams). Is that all
there is to it? There is some confusion on my part as to whether to modify
/usr/dt/config/Xservers.con and/or any other files, the example below is an
older version of DU, I'm running 5.0a.
Thanks,
Ed
