How to set resolution

[iamdaniel6969]

Resolution is stretched

I'd love to see a picture!
One thing to check is if the settings in the /etc/default/grub is set correctly:

If only the background is stretched it should be enough to replace the background.png with a file that matches the display size.
Hope this helps!

Ok, what is the resolution of your screen?
And what resolution did you set in /etc/grub/default for GRUB_GFXMODE=?
try setting it to your resolution, for example
GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080x30,auto
you can see supported resolutions by entering videoinfo in the console while in grub.

1366x768 and 1366x768x32

Hmm, trying that resolution on my 1920x1080 screen works for the most part. I may try it in a VM later.
I don't know what causes this, maybe you could post the output of videoinfo and set while in grub, maybe there is something weird there?

output of videoinfo

Ah, your preferred resolution 1360x768 is not in that list so that explains it.
Try setting it to 1024x768x32 and regenerate the grub.cfg
It would still be as crammed (sorry about that, there is no easy solution yet for making elements smaller), but it shouldn't be stretched anymore.

it's still the same

Hello, sorry I abandoned this issue for a bit. Has this been fixed in the meantime?
You need to look at what ratio your monitor has, for example 16:10, then choose the highest resolution from the output of videoinfo that matches your aspect ratio.
Write this in the /etc/default/grub and regenerate the grub config

Hello! i got a new monitor and haven't had time to try minegrub since but i will soon, the monitor is actually 1920x1080 so that is very nice
