Here are some old comments from Marek that suggest that something can be done, but they are somehow abstracted for me to be able to follow: "I'm not sure if the driver loaded at disk password prompt time is able to set higher resolution. But you can try with "video=" kernel parameter. For one-time test, you can edit kernel command line in grub (press "e" on the entry, go to "module /vmlinuz..." line and add the option at the end, then boot with ctrl-x). You can start with something like video=1920x1080 (or whatever resolution you want). Details about option syntax in kernel documentation[1]. When you find the right value, you need to edit /etc/default/grub (GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line) in dom0 to make the change permanent. After editing this file, you need to regenerate actual grub configuration: grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg [1] https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/fb/modedb.txt"; <https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/fb/modedb.txt> > -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "qubes-users" group. >> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an >> email to qubes-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >> To post to this group, send email to qubes-users@googlegroups.com. >> To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/ms >> gid/qubes-users/20180924161109.d27vv63u7y55arvl%40thirdeyesecurity.org. >> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. >> > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
