In the grub screen where you select which kernel to boot, I pressed "e" to edit the kernel line of my choice, then went to the "linux" line that had things like /quiet and ro and root=UUIDblahblahblah and added "video=1024x768", then pressed Ctrl-X to continue booting. All I got was a black screen. Reboot. Try again, with a different resolution. I tried 1900x1600, 1700x1200, 800x600, 640x480; all black screens. Finally left it alone and am back where I started; the upper left quadrant of my screen is the most display I have.
