BTW: I have never successed set resolution other than use vga=xxx

# This is my grub.cfg, it works well for setting resolution
set timeout=0
set default=0
insmod vbe
menuentry 3.3.6 {
set root=(hd0,0)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.3.6 root=/dev/sda1 vga=0x314
}
#########################################
# I have tried the below config file, but it does not set resolution
set timeout=0
set default=0
insmod video
insmod video_fb
menuentry 3.3.6 {
set root=(hd0,0)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.3.6 root=/dev/sda1 video=800x600
}
