Quote:If not then boot and uncomment GFX mode in your default grub and type in the correct resolution and update grub.It did list my preferred resolution, but I still opened the grubfile following boot-up and uncommented GFX mode & replaced 640x480 with 1024x768 & then updated grub (sudo update-grub).
Result=Success 8)
On booting, 1024x768 resolution working, and is listed in Display Settings GUI - rather surprised to see the refresh rate is given as 76Hz (used to seeing it usually around 60) - oh well, even better !
Home & Dry!
Many thanks TC, much appreciated
