I would like to restate my question. I would like the system to behave like a standard 1920x1080 system. I would like to be able to connect it to an external monitor with that native resolution. Is there any way to make this system behave like it was a standard HDMI system?
For that purpose it *should* be sufficient to create /etc/X11/xorg.conf containing the following: Section "Device" Identifier "DefaultDevice" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "DefaultMonitor" Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "DefaultScreen" Device "DefaultDevice" Monitor "DefaultMonitor" EndSection
Or should I try and return it for an exchange to the older model? I did not realize that the support for a 4K system would shrink everything. I guess I missed the obvious. But the Leap distribution DVD also presents an unreadable screen at 4K. The community is usually way ahead of me on these things, so I had assumed it would work, somehow.
On the first screen to light up after POST booting the installation media, you should be able to select an acceptable video mode for the installation process itself using the F3 key. If that doesn't work with your 3840x2160 display, and you cannot locate an existing one, file a bug. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
