  1. Boot in debug mode (second option in boot menu)

  2. When booting stops press 'Enter' and enter command mount -o remount,rw /mnt

  3. Command cd /mnt/grub

  4. Command vi menu.lst

  5. Press 'i' to enter edit mode

  6. Replace quiet parameter in first config with 'nomodeset xforcevesa video=1920x1080' or use own params.You can also add depth buffer like this video=1280x720x32 or add dpi setting video=1280x720x32 DPI=400

  7. Press 'Esc', type ':w', press 'Enter' to save.

  8. Press 'Esc', type ':x', press 'Enter' to exit.

  9. Type reboot -f

    Thats all!

If the android system is started press Alt+F1.

type in

mkdir /mnt/sda
mount /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/sda
vi /mnt/sda/grub/menu.lst

press i to edit, replace quiet to nomodeset xforcevesa if you have not done it until now. Because you can make sure, that it will boot. At the end of the line add UVESA_MODE=yourdesiredresolution as example UVESA_MODE=1280x720

press Esc to return read-mode press :w then press Enter press :q then press Enter type reboot then press Enter

Unfortunately, I still have one remark: You cannot choose any resolution! I tried 3840x2160 because I want to use Android x86 on a smart table. Would have been nice. Too bad.
