    I need to run Linux guest in low-res mode to develop/test some software for an ARM embedded system.
    I have Debian 21.04 ARM64 *without* any GUI (console only) installed as the guest OS. It runs beautifully, I can directly write to the frame buffer, etc.

    I cannot get it to run at a resolution lower than 1024x768. I have followed the directions in this post to no avail:

    Anyone know how I can get a Linux VGA console going?
    Thanks in advance!
