Making a change in /etc/default/grub does not take effect until the actual Grub menu is rebuilt. It's a config file, not a menu file. > Unfortunately that does not have an effect and the > resolution is only 640Ã480. IIRC, I've solved this problem in the distant past by in BIOS setup changing memory size reserved for video controller from 1M to 8M. > The GRUB developer told me that this is likely a Video BIOS issue. > Am I out of luck or do you know of possible solutions or do you have > pointers how to debug this? GRUBâs `vbeinfo` lists the resolution of > 1024Ã768. GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768 assumes you are using Grub2. In Grub legacy what you need is video=1024x768 or video=1024x768@60 on the kernel cmdline. I have multiple i945G systems using both vga=1024x768@60 and Grub Legacy, but none Lenovo.
