I'm not worried about "automatic detection," is there any way at all to
tell
the system to use more than 640x480 (800x600 on one system)? The nice tab
for defining monitor resolution is gone, replaced with nothing I have found.
In the boot screen
Press esc, then tab
add resolution=1600x1200 as a boot option
and any other 'boot time kernel option' that may be relevant.
On radeon HD 36xx cards, too the radeon driver works 'out of box'
640x480 on a 1600x1200 or 1920x1080 monitor is very readable, probably from
100 yards away without optics. I've given up testing for the moment, nothing
I really want to test runs, even in 800x600.
