to be used for monitors with resolutions that are not available in the video-mode
method.
Note – The video-timing method should be used only if the preceding methods
have been unsuccessful.
For example, to set the console resolution to 1280

Note – The last three commands enable the NVRAM. Without these entry lines, the
changes you make with
nvedit
will be ignored.
