HI all,
So I want to change the resolution of my system startup.
I am on a high resolution screen and card, but the boot up messages are really big due to a small resolution.
I went into /etc/default and changed the grub file to specify a higher resolution that my card supports, i choose GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1440 as a test.
I then ran update-grub and rebooted.
Nothing changed at all, so i guess i'm missing a something somewhere, any help appreciated.

Grub boot resolution
Re: Grub boot resolution
*UPDATE*
So I managed to set the grub resolution by running videoinfo at the grub prompt, and selecting a resolution from the list.
However this does not change the bootup resolution at all.
Where is this set?

Re: Grub boot resolution
Ah I figured it out, I was missing the following line in my grub file
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1920x1200x32
After adding this and updating the config, everything works as expected...

Re: Grub boot resolution
Good work. I've been wanting to reduce the resolution on my tower system. I've gone from 1920x1080 to 640x480.
