	DECW$DEVICE_CONFIG_GQ.COM and DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM haven't
	been modified by upgrade :

$ dir sys$manager:DECW$DEVICE_CONFIG_GQ.COM/full
...

	DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM has been modified as I have added

$ node_list = "DIRAC"
...
$DO_DIRAC:
$ decw$xsize_in_pixels ==  1024
$ decw$ysize_in_pixels == 768
$ decw$server_density == "75"
$ ! Following line is added to fix Vfreq issue in DECW
$ decw$server_refresh_rate == 60
$ decw$server_default_visual_class == "3"
$ decw$default_keyboard_map == "BELGIAN_FRENCH_LK444AP_PC"
$ exit

	decw$server_refresh_rate == 60 fixes DECW issue, but not console
	one.

...
$           if devtyp .eq. 35
$           then
$             !
$             !  Check that the S3 controller is available
$             !
$             if .not. f$getdvi("GQA0", "AVL") then exit
$             !
$             !  Configure the S3 controllers (Vision 864, Trio32/64)
$             !
$             server = "decw$server_ddx_s3"
$             decw$xsize_in_pixels == 1024
$             decw$ysize_in_pixels == 768
$             decw$virtual_pages   == 400000
$             decw$server_refresh_rate == 60
$           else
...

	I have checked that devtyp contains 35.
