[H-GEN] Sun Solaris

Hi there,

I have been playing with Sun Solaris this week after installing on a
P166 with 32 MB RAM and Matrox Millenium 2 MB video card.

I must say the reports of it being a resource hog and slower than Linux
seem to be accurate (I am using Ver 2.5.1 with CDE). 

Performance seems a bit ordinary but the quality of CDE is very nice.

My question is this:-

Can any of you who run or know of CDE tell me if the screen resolution
can be reset with keystrokes like X Windows can (Ctrl-Alt-+) or is the
resolution fixed and can only be reset from the coniguration files.

I have just spent a week trying to find the answer in bookshops and 120
MB of SUN's Answerbook...so far to no avail.

If this is as obvious as manpage X86Config or something don't bother
telling me just point me in the direction and I'll track it down myself.

TIA
