From: Drew Paschal on 5 May 2010 13:20 I have looked around on google and found some documentation to set the resolution within grub2 but some of the explanations are a bit vague. Can someone post a clear and concise way of doing this? When I tried the ones I found on google, I managed to make the box not boot anymore.

Replace the line: #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 with one the suits your fancy. And remove the # at the beginning. Also note the other variables that are set here for future reference. -- Paul E Condon pecondon(a)mesanetworks.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

From: Drew Paschal on 5 May 2010 15:20 This worked PERFECTLY. My steps: vim /etc/default/grub I uncommented the GRUB_GFXMODE= line and changed it to: GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024 Under that, I added the line: GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1280x1024 I then saved and exited. I then ran update-grub and rebooted. Works great. Thank you!

Works great. Thank you! You're welcome. Although Stephen P must be disappointed that you didn't switch to lilo! :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
