cp /usr/share/images/desktop-base/moreblue-orbit-wallpaper.png /boot/grub/moreblue-orbit-grub.png got me a nice fullscreen grub, but with the interesting part (the boot menu) still in he upper left corner. I'd prefer a 640x480 grub in the center of the screen. However, I found that Linux vesafb still doesn't work unless I set gfxpayload=1600x1200x32 (which I have to do because vga=0x376 is not supported by grub2). So it seems gfxpayload should always be set identical to gfxmode (when GRUB_GFXMODE is set in /etc/default/grub). Some other oddities: - /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme refers to /usr/share/desktop-base/grub_background.sh which doesn't exist (but see bug #550984) - even if grub_background.sh would exist, there is no way for the user to override the background, e.g. via /etc/defaults/grub (or maybe I didn't get this right -- is the user supposed to copy the background imange manually to /etc/grub ?) - if I go to the grub command line and enter a few commands like vbeinfo, lsmod, set, I find that the screen scrolls in slow motion Thanks Johannes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
