My original post was regarding the console for XCP not anything to do with VM's. The monitor would show "out of range" after boot and never let me do anything locally. For windows I just use Bios for now. UEFI is too much of an issue. Especially for scaling when I login remotely to the VM using Splashtop or similar. It never scaled properly unless I used the Bios verison. Forza is right. It is really fast to try and get into the Bios screen. A checkbox or option to "boot into bios" like vmware would be extremely helpful for those rare occasions, instead of trying to "beat the clock".

I initially did try grub directly but never got the results I needed. (Could be user error) It's nice to change the resolution down because a lot of our installs have service monitors...ie monitors in the corner that were dusted off and used.

I would like to see that "boot to firmware" option either in the boot loader hierarchy or as a select-able toggle. It would help on those few times I need to adjust things but my trigger finger is too atrophied to nail that esc.

@Andrew I'm using the same. I only tested it on one of the monitors here. I have a few more in the field I will test it on later. Before doing this I would always get a "resolution out of bounds" error on the monitors. (one 4:3 1024 and one 16:9 1366)

I found this link from the xenserver page which sounds like a similar issue. I tested this on a 4:3 monitor here and it worked. It basically changes the resolution to 1024x768 which is pretty universal. The steps from the link are

• SSH into Host

• /opt/xensource/libexec/xen-cmdline --set-xen vga=mode-0x0317

• /opt/xensource/libexec/xen-cmdline --set-dom0 vga=791

• Reboot system

You could change the resolution to anything you need. I found this to be a pretty good universal resolution.

Good Afternoon all,

Some of our racks that are using XCP-NG have small 19" monitors with 1366x768 resolution or even older 4:3 monitors with 1280x1024. Once XCP boots past the loader I get "input out of range please change to monitor resolution xxx" I tried to manually define the resolution in GRUB to no success. Any come across this issue as well as a solution?
