Force console resolution to 1920x1080 on boot?


RadOD

Rarely something causes the Unraid GUI to freeze up and the only way to fix (clean shutdown and reboot) is from the console.  It is kinda important when I need it but rare enough that I don't want to hook up its own monitor and keyboard.  Conveniently I have a workstation close by so I have set up a cheap HDMI switch.  The console displays correctly for a while but eventually goes black and the monitor gives a "1920x1080 resolution is recommended" notification.  This sounds like the HDMI switch is screwing up the EDID somehow.  Is there a way to add a boot time config setting or run a script to manually override the resolution? Is there an xranr command in Unraid somewhere? I don't see anything I recognize in the nerd tools and dev pack plug ins.
