It's just one of those annoying things that Microsoft handles better, I guess. At least MS gives you something, a low res gui and a means to get to the configurator, without having to resort to the command line.
Nope, sorry. I know from experience that Microsoft will do the same thing, generally under the same situation. Try setting an LCD panel (connected to a KVM that doesn't pass the info) to a resolution higher than it supports.
The same guy who built this fedora box builds about 10 windows boxes the same way every week.
He builds up the system using a display on his desk, then unplugs the box and carries it to the destination cube and plugs in a flat panel display. Same model displays on each end, different OS.
He gets a gui from MS windows, and can reconfigure to the new display.
