Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97+20091210-1
Severity: normal
When I set GRUB_GFXMODE to one of the modes available on my computer,
only a part of the boot menu is visible. It's as if the boot menu were
first displayed on the whole screen (with the correct resolution), then
part of the screen were hidden.
With the configuration below, I can see only about 1/4 of the screen
(the upper left corner). I can choose the boot entry (but if I had 20
entries I could not see all of them), but I can't see the help at the
bottom of the screen. This happens only to grub, once the boot starts
the whole screen is visible with the correct resolution.
This behaviour appeared a few months ago when vga=... stopped working
and I had to switch to gfxmode/gfxpayload, but after having spent time
to find how to replace vga=... I was happy to have it almost working
again and didn't spend more time to file a bug report.
