Too high resolution on startup

I've just installed Ubunto and LMCE, but when I reboot the resolution is too high for my screens, I've tried a screen that supports 1280x1024 resolution, but no luck with thatone either. Is there any way of lowering the startup-resolution?

If your getting out of range errors from your display I would suggest using lmce Web Admin to set the resolution/refresh to one that your screens can handle;

At Web Admin go to Wizards -> Devices -> Media Directors and select the 'Resolution & Refresh' button for the MD you want to set the resolution for. Now set the resolution/refresh to one you know your display is happy with and click ok, and then confirm this on the subsequent web admin screen once you have a good picture. If you have never run the AVwizard on this MD before you should now run that and set the same resolution/refresh again and step through the wizard to the end - otherwise everytim you restart your MD your resolution may get reset.

Hope this helps.

what port does the web admin run on? I have the same problem but can't access anything from another machine - can't do anything on the linuxmce box itself because the signal is out of range. I'd have thought it would choose a res/refresh the hardware it detects during install would actually support?

Its on port 80 and if you accepted the defaults on install it will be at the IP of 192.168.80.1
