If you are using grub2, try changing the values of GRUB_GFXMODE GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX in /etc/default/grub to your required resolution and run update-grub You might also need to set GRUB_TERMINAL=gfxterm rather than GRUB_TERMINAL=console but I'm not sure about this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
