Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080210-1
Severity: minor
My laptop's LCD supports 1280x800 in Xorg, but grub-pc's vbeinfo command
doesn't detect it and setting gfxmode to it does not work. This means I
need to prepare a special horizontally compressed image for the
background splash image to not look stretched out with 1024x768 mode.

From: "Paul Wise" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Just checked, neither the Xorg vesa driver nor grub support the native
resolution of this laptop (1280x800).
Sorry, I did check Wikipedia [0] only after I already sent my Mail to the Bug
VESA doestn't define 1280x800
The vbe grub module which is by default used on grub-pc has a vbeinfo command
which shows all supported modes.
I just checked this myself with current grub2 running in VMware 6.5 with OS set
to other linux 2.6 64bit
Strangely it showed 1280x800
I'll close this bug, it doestn't seem to be a specific grub problem. It seems more then your graphic card doestn't support it with
VESA
But if you still think this is a grub specific issue, then please feel free to
reopen it.
