Look for the following line : GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32 in your grub.cfg (/etc/default/grub). Also it would be nice if you could write down here the result of a vbeinfofrom the Grub2 command line. 2012/2/21 Calvin Morrison > On 21 February 2012 10:00, Keshav P R wrote: > > > On Tue, Feb 21, 2

My two grub2 correctly report and use non standard resolution. That is 1600x900 on my ux31e and 1920x1080 on my desktop. 2012/2/21 Keshav P R > On Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 08:51, Bill Sun wrote: > > Hi, > > > > @Keshav P R: > > I tried: > >set gfxmode="1366x768;auto" > > It didn't give me a 136

It seems that your computer doesn't report correctly the displayed mode. I may look pessimistic on this one but I fear that you won't get any cookies from Grub2 this time. 2012/2/21 Bill Sun > On Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 05:51:29AM +0100, Ralf Mardorf wrote: > > Did you check by running "sudo hwinfo

Hi, @Keshav P R: I tried: set gfxmode="1366x768;auto" It didn't give me a 1366x768 console; instead, grub2 just gave me a 1024x768 console. @Thomas Courbon: Yes, I just tried the 'auto' parameter, and, indeed, it didn't change anything. I just update my BIOS to the latest version---1.2.6, and
