I was never able to get the grub boot screen to stop using the default vga graphics, no matter what I did. And, if I compiled the kernel with the graphics for my device built in, instead of as modules, even the systemd part of the boot messages used the vga graphics, and the virtual consoles remained with that resolution. I can get the resolution I want on the virtual consoles by changing the dimensions on the framebuffer device when I am compiling a kernel, and having this on the kernel boot line: SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 I think, because most people never see these messages and boot directly into the gui, it has fallen into disrepair. Could you show a stanza from your /boot/grub2/grub.cfg? Maybe that will give me, or someone else, an idea to help you. Did you rebuild the initramfs using dracut after every change, and before rebooting? I recall that it was bothersome to troubleshoot this because it required a reboot and initramfs rebuild for every change. Not much help, but if you get this working I would certainly like to hear about it. In case it matters, I'm using the radeon driver. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/5PYW4AWZMWS22FURM5UBXYS5A5MSNBM6/
