    acpi=off has the same effect of hanging on the splash screen. This is an HP/Compaq tc4200.

    (For a sec I thought it was working... the splash screen was working while it was checking disks for errors, but froze when that was finished...)

    So... The above in blue is your Video. The results hwinfo returned is in green and is in hex format. The numbers in red to the right of each mode, is the decimal equivalent to each (hex) mode, which you could use to set the kms in the kernel boot line by adding/using a vga=xxx, where xxx is that decimal mode...

    For example, adding vga=791 to the kernel boot line would try to set the graphics mode at 1024x768x16...

    You have a little more of a challenge... That is the modes that your video display chipset is capable of displaying, but... You are going through your Svideo port to a TV. You have to find a display mode your TV supports. I know I connect my media server to a 37" TV to play videos and network series rewinds... and the highest resolution my TV itself supports is 1024x769x24. You're going to have to remember or find what works for yours.

    Sorry, sometimes I aasume everyone has it installed...
    You can easily install it via
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install hwinfo

    Leave the boot line how you had it before the last post and edit /etc/default/grub as per this Launchpad Bug workaround:
    Andy Whitcroft wrote on 2010-12-02:

    As a work-around we can turn this off by adding the line below to /etc/default/grub and running update-grub:
    GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text
    that is supposed to work for your hardware. Latter updates after that, fixed it for some, but not for others, so it is still an open bug. The "workaround" might help you in the meanwhile.

    Seems the open bug here:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ux/+bug/683775

    Is one that you might what to join in on and follow...

    wow that was a fast response, I've been trying to change these settings but cannot boot straight into the grub menu (just goes straight to gui) is there a way to edit the kernal boot throught the gui? I've been searching but nothing I find seems to work. it is an old tv so it should be 786, 785, or 769

    The files are set to root previledges, so to edit them, you going to have to start a terminal:
    Code:
    cd /boot/grub/grub.cfg
    sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
    ...If you remember to save a copy of it in your home directory somewhere, as everytime you ran update-grub (or any grub update) it would overwrite it.

    So find "/etc/default/grub"
    Code:
    cd /etc/default/
    sudo gedit grub
    and edit the line:
    Code:
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash vga=786"
    Doing it this way will pick up the edits each time update-grub is run... So update the grub.cfg now via
    Code:
    sudo update-grub
    to pick up these changes.

    For trying new modes... you should be able to bring up the Grub menu by pressing the shift key a few times as it's booting up...

    Re: Graphics Resolution- Upgrade /Blank Screen after reboot

    No dice with GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text. Any other ideas or am I getting near the end of the road? I'd rather not quit and reload with 10.10 now if you or others have ideas, but let me know if I'm at the point where that's my only option.

    Can you tell if my issue is related to this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...el/+bug/727594
