Hello Jordan,
Thanks for your kind help.
Unfortunately I was in terrible pain due to illness and I'm blaming it for
overlooking a dependency or step I needed to follow when installing
grub-legacy.
It failed and I can no longer boot my computer. Since the program doesn't

My guess is that you simply didn't have the same mode configured in
grub legacy as you do in grub2. If you don't think that's the case

Yes, I need grub to have an easy and consistant way to keep low resolution
in the console just as grub-legacy allows.
grub-legacy allowed is to have 640x480 in console while having the X

Yes but making a large font still does not cange the resolution down to
640x480 as needed by ncurses programs like Debian's aptitude.
Why cannot GRUB put back the easy to use command to change the boot screen.

A few things, you can lower the resolution of grub to make the console look
bigger I guess, or you can use grub-mkfont to generate a larger font and set
that as your grub font. From the sounds of it you're also having issue with the
tty font which I googled and found that yjou could reconfigure

Frankly this entire thread is absurd, confusing the situation immensely.
All that you need to know is that GRUB_GFXMODE in /etc/default/grub
specifies the resolution for grub's menu, and that (unless
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD is set explicitly to something else) this same mode is
passed on to the kernel.

Hello Chris,
Thanks for your kind and excellent answer.
Is there some way that the GRUB install script (or other) could incorporate
something that would allow 640x480 resolution?
I understand about making a larger font, but this does not allow programs
such as aptitude ncurses and other programs

Wasn't there a graphical application that let you select the resolution for
grub? I know KDE had it built into the system settings.

Yes. I have to agree with that. My comments were directed at advanced

Also some distro's don't have menu.list - I have none for example with Arch

menu.lst was the configuration file for Grub Legacy.

GRUB used to have a way of just adding at the grub menu the vga mode. It

Can't that be done with GRUB2?

I understand that Chris typed the wrong directory. Instead of mis it
should have been misc.
I also found I did not have the package unifont installed.
I installed unifont, and now I have the file in the misc folder:

I tried what you advised, Chris, but I have no such directory:

So the command:
grub-mkfont -s 24 -o unicode.pf2 /usr/share/fonts/X11/mis/unifont.

Use GRUB_TERMINAL=console in /etc/default/grub and rerun update-grub.
Also note that there is WIP for supporting braille in GRUB.

Prior to GRUB2 it was quite easy to change virtual console resolution.
