Changing Ubuntu Screen Resolution in a Hyper-V VM If you install Ubuntu 14.04 inside a Hyper-V virtual machine – you automatically get all the integration components and virtualized drivers.  Including the Hyper-V video driver.  However, if you try to change the screen resolution inside your virtual machine you will notice something odd: Open Terminal Type: sudo vi /etc/default/grub Find the line starting with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT , and add video=hyperv_fb:[the resolution you want] .  The resolution I want is 1280x720.  So my line ends up looking like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash video=hyperv_fb:1280x720" Write the changes and quit vi. Run: sudo update-grub Reboot the virtual machine
