How to force video resolution on boot?
 
When I boot (this is Thar, but I have the same problem in Lucid), I have to leave X to manually change the video resolution with xorgwizard. I tried remastering the boot after the adjustment and the problem still exists.

Are there ways to set video resolution before X loads?

Several ways:
  1. /etc/X11/xorg.conf could be created to set a PreferredMode in 'Section "Monitor"'
  2. a .conf file can be placed in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ to do the same as in #1
  3. an xrandr script can be placed wherever X startup scripts find a home in your distro, such as /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ or /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/
  4. an xrandr script can possibly be placed somewhere in $HOME, such as .xinitrc, depending on how X is being started
