<pre wrap="">I have a machine running Ubuntu Server 12.10; this is server, not
desktop, so command line only. The CRT monitor fried. I have an old LCD
monitor, but it only accepts 800x600 resolution at 60Hz. I'm trying to
get that working as the console. I can get in via SSH using PuTTY from a
Windows machine, but that's not a long term solution for a few reasons.
This monitor does display BIOS POST, and the Grub menu, but does not
display the login prompt.
I tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" but that just has
encoding, character set, font, and font size. Nothing for console
resolution. I tried editing /etc/default/console-setup to add
"GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=800x600". The console is visible during POST, and
the GRUB menu, but then changes to an unsupported mode.
I haven't even looked at anything that could be put in .profile because
I don't get that far. I can't even see the login prompt.
Could you guys help me?
Thanks,
Rob Dyck
