Hello,

I'm running Slackware 15.0 and I compiled Grub 2.06 for Slackware, using the 
official slackware source made for Grub, but I made one modification, sed for 
Dejavu.

I believe I have tried every possible option for the /etc/default/grub file and 
I've run out of options/ideas on how to make any themes display at my native 
resolution.

The grub > shell with videoinfo shows my native resolution of 1920x1080x32 is 
supported, but when I try and use a theme, they always run at 1024x768 
resolution.

This is the Slackware source directory for Grub that I used to build Grub;

https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware64-15.0/source/a/grub/

In the grub.SlackBuild build script, just above the 'autoreconf -vif' line is 
where I placed this sed line for Dejavu, as I mentioned, the only change I made 
to this build script.

echo "Fix DejaVuSans.ttf location so that grub-mkfont can create *.pf2 files 
for starfield theme..."
sed 's|/usr/share/fonts/dejavu|/usr/share/fonts/dejavu /usr/share/fonts/TTF|g' 
-i "configure.ac"

After installing grub I ran; grub-install /dev/sda and then after any changes I 
made to /etc/default/grub I ran;

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

I'm attaching the /etc/default/grub that I have been using, that shows the 
theme tela listed at the bottom, which you can find here; ( I used the 
2021-12-05 version)

https://github.com/vinceliuice/grub2-themes/releases/tag/2021-12-05

I followed the guide and installed the theme properly, I confirmed this with 
the developer.

I've run out of ideas, there seems to be an issue here, and I don't know how to 
debug/troubleshoot grub, to determine why it's not loading themes at native 
resolution.

I hope someone has a way to fix this, and if this is a bug, I hope it will be 
fixed in time.

THANKS
Sar
