Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20090721-3
Severity: minor
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I think that this is a separate and minor problem in respect to bug 535026,
thus I'm
writing this bug report.
I have upgraded to grub2 because of its support to ext4 / partition and tried
to replicate
the behavior of its predecessor. The option that seems to be completely ignored
is vga=865
(i.e:1280x800), I have also tried to use set gfxpayload=1280x800x32 as
suggested at boot
time by grub since a message warns that vga=XXX is deprecated, but the
situation didn't
improve.
Given that I'm not so experienced to put my hands on the scripts inside
/etc/grub.d/ and
the documentation on grub2 is almost missing, there is something that I'm doing
wrong or
is this a minor bug? How can I help to fix?
Cheers
Valerio

GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
This is documented in 'info grub Configuration'. It's not appropriate
to be switched on by default in Debian for reasons explained in the info
documentation.
