@Martin-Eric Were you able to take a look at the documentation Colin suggested in Comment #7? It doesn't sound like the /etc/default/grub file will be extended with commented-out documentation. Marking as wont-fix. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Won't Fix -- You

This issue was not about putting extra comments into /etc/default/grub as much as about properly documenting the differences between adding vga=xxx in cmdline, versus exporting the GFX_MODE, and that is still not properly documented. For instance, I haven't found any place which states that the

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue. However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further testing. This is

I think you were either misinformed or misunderstood. GRUB_GFXMODE is not sufficient to cause GRUB to pass a video mode to the Linux kernel; you must also set GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep or GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=some other video mode. See GRUB's info documentation. -- You received this bug

There doesn't seem to be any GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX defined or commented out in /etc/default/grub. If people are expected to stop putting vga=mode in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, then the correct upgrade past must be properly documented. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

Adding GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep to /etc/default/grub still doesn't offer a proper substitute for putting vga=mode in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX. Again, it's pointless to make GRUB complain that vga=mode is deprecated if the procedure for setting gfxpayload is not gonna be documented. -- You received

Adding GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep to /etc/default/grub and running update-grub only seems to make the framebuffer load up much later in the boot cycle, just before GDM appears. By comparison, vga=mode makes the kernel switch mode much earlier during the bootup process. Also, while vga=mode is

It is properly documented in: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Simple-configuration That's also installed in 'info grub', and if you would care to do some basic searching, it also discusses issues with vga=. I do not care to continue extending /etc/default/grub with
