I accidentally changed the display setting on my mac mini to 1080p. As soon as I did this, it went black. I wasn't thinking, ... the TV is only 720p. And so, now I am trying to change the setting back to a lower resolution but all I have to work with is a black screen. As the computer is starting up, I see the apple screen then it goes black. I have tried "safe" mode by holding shift but it has gotten me no where. Anybody have any ideas for me???
Got a tip for us?

If you can ssh in to your terminal (need Remote Login enabled in System Preferences I believe), then you can do this in the terminal from a different system
>newscreen -h 1440 -v 900 (set your resolution to whatever will work for you though).
Hope it helps,
