Hello all,
I'm trying to change the resolution of the console mode of this Ubuntu VM. I'm trying to do that by setting GRUB_GFXMODE in /etc/default/grub. Changes are having no effect. However, I don't have the VESA BIOS extension installed. Grub tells me this much when I run vbeprobe. Meanwhile, dmesg confirms(?) no VESA module is ever loaded and insmod vbe returns "can't read 'vbe': No such file or directory".
Ideally I'd like to set it to a non standard mode supported by that monitor (a WXGA operating at 16:9 with 1366 × 768 pixels). But I can understand if this mode isn't supported. But setting at least a 1024x 768 mode would be much appreciated.
What am I doing wrong or missing?
