Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub2
Hello!
I've tried setting GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1200 in /etc/default/grub, as this
is the native resolution of my screen.
This works, in the sense that the GRUB menu is displayed in that
resolution. However, the display is really, _really_ slow. I can see the
borders being drawn on the screen (it takes about a second). And
scrolling is unusable: if I use the GRUB console enough to fill the
screen, it takes about six second to scroll to each next line. This is
on an nVidia GeForce 9600 GT.
Note that if I set the same resolution for the Linux text console (which
works, through vesafb as far as I can tell), scrolling is still slower
than text mode, but still usable (I'd say about a second or less to
scroll an _entire_ screen, not six seconds _per_line_ as GRUB does).
(I've seen this reported as a side note in other bugs, but I can't find
a duplicate bug on this problem only.)
