Oh I didn't notice this report. Anyway that patch has nothing to do with the problem. It's just about implementing a variable for /etc/default/grub so grub-mkconfig puts it automatically into the generated grub.cfg Which Marc did by hand. Well if this gets implemented properly, it can solve it but the patch from the submitter doestn't do this. The problem is that Marc isn't using gfxterm. For gfxpayload and also for vga= with the new linux loader, you must have at least `isnmod vbe' in your grub.cfg. This shouldn't be different by using vga= or set gfxpayload. In fact using vga= sets gfxpayload variable. Just use `echo $gfxpayload' after `linux /vmlinuz vga=0x318' -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
