When I remove vga=773 from the /etc/default/grub, and then update-grub, the problem is gone. But after I restart the system, the console is the same as before(vga=773, 128x48), not a plain 80x25 characters. So, surely the system supports this vga=773 resolution mode, I don't know why it will cause a problem when I add vga=773 to the grub option.
