The easiest option is probably to boot with only the HDMI connected. Auto-detection should then mean that output must go there. Alternatively, if you want to change the display on the fly, use the "xrandr" command. For example, to stop outputting to the VGA port and to start outputting to HDMI-0, you could do something like: $ xrandr --output VGA --off --output HDMI-0 --auto Run xrandr with no options to see what displays are available, which are connected and what resolutions are available. > PS: I'm also surprised to find that the quality of the text in console displays > is so bad. Did anybody note that? How bad is it? If it's fuzzy, they you probably need to change the resolution of your framebuffer to match that of your monitor. Probably the nicest way to do that is to add: GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768 # For example GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep to your /etc/default/grub (and run update-grub). That will cause GRUB to come up in a high-resolution mode and then *NOT* reset back to text when booting linux. If your text console is, however, blocky and unreadable, this is probably an issue with the nvidia driver (I find that sometimes, switching from X to a console can result in a glitchy display. Switching back to X works fine, though). > > best regards, > -- > Pierre Frenkiel > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST@lists.debian.org with a subject > of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
