Wild guess: Rather than give a list of compatible resolutions, try just
listing a low resolution one that gives you a big chunky display.
That, or look into if you can specify the font (a big one).
Tried multiple resolutions, as well as a bigger font via these steps:
|1) grub2-mkfont -s 32 -o /boot/grub2/DejaVuSansMono.pf2
/usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf|
2) Edit the //etc/default/grub/ file adding a line:
|GRUB_FONT=/boot/grub2/DejaVuSansMono.pf2
3) |Update GRUB configuration with:
|sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
4) reboot
Still no luck...
Anyone have any thoughts?

All;
I managed to get the grub boot screen to scale like this:
1) made a new font:
# grub2-mkfont --output=/boot/grub2/LiberationSerif-Regular.pf2 -s 36 -v
/usr/share/fonts/liberation/LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf
2) made my /boot/default/grub file 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="1440x900x32;1440x900x24;1024x768x32;1024x768x24;auto"
GRUB_GFXMODE=auto
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD=keep
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
GRUB_FONT=/boot/grub2/LiberationSerif-Regular.pf2
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
GRUB_TERMINAL=gfxterm
3) Deployed the change to my EFI grub config:
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
So now I have a readable font when the laptop boots, per the boot menu.
Now I would like to figure out how to force the subsequent boot
information to be a readable font.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance
