Hi, everyone.
tldr: How in the heck do I force CentOS7 to boot to a low/conservative GDM resolution?
Hoping someone can lend a hand getting CentOS7 to sync to my Panasonic Vierra 42' TV. It worked fine in CentOS6.5 but since installing I boot to a GDM background with no login prompt. I can SSH into the node and configure multiuser runlevel but that's not fun at all. ;)
Here's the output of xrandr:
# systemctl get-default graphical.target
# xrandr -display :0 -q Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192 VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 698mm x 392mm 1920x1080 60.0* 59.9 24.0 24.0 1920x1080i 60.1 60.0 1280x720 60.0 59.9 1440x480i 60.1 60.1 60.1 720x480 60.0 59.9 640x480 60.0 59.9 DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
# xrandr -display :0 --output HDMI1 --mode 640x480 # echo $? 0
# /bin/systemctl restart gdm.service # echo $? 0
So setting to something very conservative doesn't make a difference nor do any of the other detected modes. I also tried bouncing the TV to see if that would help. Nada.

that TV should be capable of 1920x1080p at 60Hz on HDMI output. your display mode stuff concurrs with this, and sees the TV on HDMI1.
it should just be working.
I agree! ;)
But I'm only getting the splash screen with the etched '7' and no login prompt or top bar. I've been all over /var/log and I don't see anything which resembles an error. I even did a "yum groupinstall 'GNOME Desktop'" to make sure I had absolutely everything GDM-related.
