I played with the xrandr more (as it should work best)...
So I came up with a work around..
You still want to use xrandr -s 1024x768
But yest TTY cant find display so we need to give the system a few seconds and manually switch back to the desktop..
I tested the ability to change resolution from a TTY with this method..
Again boot the PC once its up (log in should just type PW + enter)
Go into TTY1 with CTRL + ALT + F1
Run this command then immediately switch back CRTL + ALT + F7
If 5 seconds isn't long enough add additional seconds as needed... resolution should change automatically..
