[Bug 1109097] [NEW] Cirrus CLGD 5546 PCI requires resolution to be specified manually

[Dereck Wonnacott]

Public bug reported:

Cirrus CLGD 5546 PCI graphics card
Ubuntu 12.10


With default settings, the resolution chosen by grub caused a large portion of the right and bottom of the grub menu and cli to be hidden off the screen.

Forcing the resolution to 640x480 in /etc/default/grub and then running
update-grub fixes the problem.

This is an old card used in an old system, so I don't expect there to be much interest in fixing this bug. But I thought I would report it as Google fodder for the next unlucky soul to inherit one....
