I know my monitor resolution; it's 2560x1600, and supports many exact-subset lower resolutions. What type of query were you thinking of? The output of xrandr is one possibility, and that of 'get-edid | parse-edid' (with /dev/ mounted exec) is another; the latter is closer to a true "query the monitor", but seems to provide less information. >> However, as soon as the machine tries to hand over control to the >> bootloader, I get a hard freeze; the screen goes black (albeit I >> think still with backlight), the keyboard light toggle keys stop >> responding, and the GRUB menu never appears.

I already checked, and didn't see any settings that seemed relevant. IIRC I did change an unrelated setting which I noticed along the way.

If it can get *anything* after the BIOS handover, it's at least progress from where I currently sit. Validating with those basic minimal graphics is actually a good thing, IMO, although you're right that it only goes so far. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
