Besides what Tom suggested if you have "hwinfo" installed you can run as root 'hwinfo --framebuffer' and get the vga codes for your video card and add it to the grub kernel line as 'vga=code', replace code with the right code for you system. -- Jimmy Johnson Debian-Live - Sid - KDE 4.4 - installed at sda14 Registered Linux User #380263 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Just wild guessing here but... you know that GRUB can be run inside a session (open a terminal as root and type "grub", then you can "play" a bit with it) so that "real GRUB" could be referring that you can test the available modes just inside the true/real GRUB (at booting) and not inside a GUI session once the vga drivers/modules are loaded into the system. P.S. I'm speaking about GRUB legacy, still learning how to deal with GRUB 2 O:-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
