:Hi i recentlay got a Vaxstation VLC, after reading some manual i try
:to change the screen resolution but I have fail. I have the lcg frame
:buffer module 1 and with show config it tells me that it runs in LR -
:8PLN FB - V x.x, is it possible to change it to HR - 8 PLN FB.

  There exists the PV31G-AA controller (54-20772-01) -- which is usually
  switchable between what was then known as low-resolution and
  high-resolution displays, and the PV31G-AB, which is not switchable.

  The switchable version supports both 1024 x 768 at 72 Hz and 1024 x 864
  at 60 Hz. You can guess the resolution supported by the low-res -AB. :-)

  There are a couple of other PV31G-* variants around, but those are either
  monochrome or are high-resolution.

  What is the part number (and the board revision) found on your particular
  LCG graphics controller? 54-20772-01? And do you have the triple-RGB
  coax cable connector, or a mini DB15 connector, on the controller?

  AFAIK, if you do not have the 54-20772-01, you can't alter the display.
