You have to set > them to the resolution that you want to use. I have "#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480" commented. I tried GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x800 but it makes very small fonts in console and not full screen. I tried GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 instead "video=LVDS-1:640x480" in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX but I have no useful effect. With the 2.6.32-5-kernel from oficial Debian distro only "video=LVDS-1:640x480" in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX resolves my problem not GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 or GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x800 or video=LVDS-1:1280x800. But with the kernel from backports that problem does not resolve by any of the above means. > > "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT" sets the command line for the regular > menu entry and "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX" sets the command line for both the > regular and the recovery menu entries. > >
