I purchased a DECpc 452ST from Digital Equipment Corp, with their high
resolution graphics card and 20" screen.  No matter what I do, I can't get
more than VGA (640X480) resolution out of the thing.  I would like to get at
least 1024X768, and 1280X1024 would be better.  Is there anybody out there
that has a DECpc xxxST that managed to get it working properly?  DEC sold it
to me and they don't have a clue.

Details:
 DECpc 452ST system (486DX2/50)
 FR-PCTAZ-AB EISA SCSI controller
 FR-PCXAR-AB 426 MB drive
 DE422 ethernet
 FR-PCXAG-AD 1280X1024 hi res adapter (TI 34020)
 VR320-DA and/or NEC 6FG monitor
 16 Megs
 DOS 5/Windows 3.1

The TI34020 has 2 Megs memory

Any help would be appreciated.
