You might also try 'GRUB_GFXMODE="auto"' (this is the default, so leaving GRUB_GFXMODE commented out has the same effect).# The resolution used on graphical terminal# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo' # GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768 GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080
This is usually the "magic word" as it tells grub not to set the resolution for Linux. UEFI firmwares (especially on laptops) tend to start in high resolution, so keeping that is probably your best bet.------------------------------------------------------------------------With this parameter set, you can force the resolution of the console after boot.GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
Please excuse, if I am telling you things, you already know. For most people it is enough, just to change the resolution at boot. Have fun! Hans
