See https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/svga.html. The following applies with all FOSS drivers I've ever used except possibly mga: vga= only works until KMS starts. video= does the desired job while KMS is engaged. e.g. video=DP-1:1440x900@60 Causes 1440x900 with refresh 60Hz to be applied only to DP-1. Leave off DP-1: to have it applied to all displays. Leave off @60 to allow the system to determine refresh. https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/fb/modedb.txt -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
