Resolution

Open mikev1963 opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

When following the directions to install an Ubuntu 20.04 server the display is very very tiny and I cannot read the prompts to get the OS installed. Is there a way to have the install and OS run with a resolution I can see ?

Are you running with a DE? If so, are you using Xorg or Wayland? If not, are you running using grub or some other bootloader?

You may also want -device virtio-gpu-gl-pci,xres=2880,yres=1650

Your problem is probably with the retina display. Temporarely lower your mac resolution on Settings > Display. The retina display uses a huge resolution that is downscaled and a very high DPI. So you need to do the same on your Linux box. You need to scale the screen.

The "Looks Like" resolution is exactly half your actual display resolution (its not the amount of pixels on screen bc its downscaled but its what the OS think its running).
