Hi All;
I just received a new laptop, the Lenovo X1 Carbon with the 2560x1440
IPS screen.
I installed the Fedora 23 KDE spin, changed the screen resolution in :
System Settings --> Display and Monitor
Then I was able to change the login screen resolution by adding an
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file with this content:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
SubSection "Display"
Modes "1280x720"
EndSubSection
EndSection
The login screen and the screen once I'm logged in now look wonderful
(and readable)
The last bit is the grub menu / grub boot screen. The text is
practically microscopic.
If I ever need to boot into single user mode and need to actually read
the text it's
going to be a problem.
I found this solution :
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/23526/how-can-i-change-boot-menu-screen-resolution-in-grub2/
But it does not seem to work, I changed my /etc/default/grub file to
look like this:
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.lvm.lv=fedora_f23host/root
rd.lvm.lv=fedora_f23host/swap rhgb quiet"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
GRUB_GFXMODE='1368x768x32; 1368x768x24; 1280x720x32; 1280x720x24;
800x600x32; 800x600x24; auto'
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD=keep
with no luck...
Can someone point me to instructions how to change my grub screen
resolution? and ensure that resolution stays in place if I ever need
to go into single user mode?
Thanks in advance
Ran this after the above:
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
still no luck,
found a post about efi systems, so I ended up doing this:
1) grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
2) ln -sf /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg /etc/grub2-efi.cfg
still no change in my boot menu resolution...
thoughts?
