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
hi Darac,
thank you for your reply. Both methods work
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.
it's not that bad. text can be read, but the luminosity varies strangely.
for example, with several lines like
-----------------------------------------------
or
________________________________________________
some lines have a normal intensity, and for others it's less than one half.
with
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
all lines are identical, but one charaqcter over 2 has a low intensity.
rather strange, isn't it?
When I have more time, I'll check using the integrated VGA output of the motherboard.
best regards,
