This isn't really Kodi-related, so if the response is simply a link to a solution on some other forum then I'll happily take that... but I'm guessing it's an issue that may plague a few here (and frankly there's a higher level of support and knowledge on these boards than many others I attend so I'm confident I'll get a resolution).
My setup is Ubuntu16 running on a Gigabyte box connected to a 720P monitor via HDMI and when it initially boots the display is pretty messed up - text blocky and blurry, wrapping around to ghost across itself and when it begins to list services much of the info is off-screen:
Once Kodi comes up, everything displays fine (most of the time) - but if there's a startup issue I can't read the console messages. I end up having to plug in a small VGA console to read what's up:
So, the question is: can I add something to my boot parameters to either appraise ubuntu of the HDMI resolution when detected, or to force a specific typeface so I can see the bootup messages correctly? Or are there tweaks in /etc/X11 I can do to prevent the detected HDMI device displaying off-screen?
Thanks for any help!
