I finally tried to edit the file
/usr/dt/config/Xservers

The original setting only contained one line:
:0 Local local_at_console /usr/bin/X11/X :0

And the resolution, refresh rate and color depth settings can be appended with
-screen0 1280x1024 -vsync 75 -vclass TrueColor
at the same line.

Then reinitialize the X server with "/sbin/init.d/xlogin stop" followed by
/sbin/init.d/xlogin start
under command line mode.

Yet the 1280x1024_at_ 75Hz with True Color mode (my default setting reported by
the monitor's OSD) seems to be the highest limit for my PowerStorm 4D51T card.
No higher resolution or refresh rate can be achieved.

Sincerely,
