how2 set boot video resolution
I am using HDMI (Samsung) with native resolution of 1366x768, which is unsuported.
I set this manually to 1024x768, which works fine, but only after boot.
How would I supply a boot parameter to set the video resolution to 1024x768 so that the boot messages don't look funny?
Thanks much!

Check the latest images based on Linux 4.19. 1366x768 should be supported. Please let us know which image you have been using.
Alright, So I pulled this LG Display out of a Dell Laptop that has out lived it's usefulness. I originally wanted to hook a Potato to it, but no matter what .IMG I use "Armbian / Libre Computer" I always get the same result.

This particular shot is Armbian, but the same exact thing happens using the .IMG's provided here. Anyone got any ideas?
Display: LP156WH2
Controller Board: Link
The default resolution for the Display: 1366x768
I tested, LibreElec/CoreElec and that works just fine.
I have also experienced odd happenings using other boards on this display as well. For example, the Tritium H5 will work with it, but only if I boot the board with the display turned off and then power it on after a bit. Oh' and it has to boot into console mode first and then I can start X manually.
Thanx!
SIDE NOTE: I know this board is unrelated to this forum, but the NanoPC T4 booting into Android also has no problems using this display. It's just using your friend and mine "Debian/Ubuntu" that things start to get wonky.
EDIT: 032019
Well the console mode sorted it's self out on it's own, although not at a resolution I'd prefer and with xrandr I can set X to something usable, but not to the default display resolution.
Be nice to know why everything goes to $hit using: 1366x768
