Dear Debian Boot Team, I’d like to suggest a small improvement to GRUB's default configuration in Debian.
On my high-resolution laptop screen, GRUB sometimes fails to boot properly. I’ve seen repeated errors like: ``` error: out of memory. error: syntax error. error: Incorrect command. ``` This has happened multiple times over the course of using the current Debian version. The workaround I’ve found is to manually set the GRUB resolution to 640x480. For example, one way I’ve done this is by removing the hard drive, attaching it to another machine, and changing the resolution there. If there’s a better solution I’m unaware of, I’d greatly appreciate any recommendations. But for now, lowering the resolution seems to be the only way, and it's a cumbersome process. I would really like to be able to install Debian on high-resolution laptops and have it just work out of the box. I know this issue has affected other users and I know people have switched to other distros after giving up because of this. For better hardware compatibility out of the box—especially with high-DPI screens—I’d like to suggest setting the default GRUB resolution to 640x480 or another low resolution. Thank you for your time and all your work on Debian. Sincerely, Steven O. Hansen
