On the Model 95 with XGA and an 8514 display that I have in my office, I can 
change the resolution very easily. Open the os/2 system folder, click on system
setup, click on system icon which opens the system settings. There I find
an option to change video resolution.

I don't know whether this will be the case with yours. I guess that it will be.
Otherwise, you will have to do it via Selective Install as has been explained
by many posters here before. (That is, Selective Install, Primary display,
XGA, OK, Install, OK, and then follow instructions].

My wish for 2.1 is that a method similar to XGA be provided to change video
resolution by choosing it from choices from within System Setup, without having
to reinsert disks 6-19 everytime you need to change video resolution. That is
painful and frustrating. 

Karu.
