[Bug 1196542] [NEW] Grub ignores GRUB_GFXMODE, GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD

[Thomas Schweikle]

Public bug reported:

gfxmode isn't properly set by update-grub. Will only be respected if
loadfont returned without error.

Awaited:
setting GRUB_GFXMODE to 800x600 switching grub to use 800x600 vga screen by max. available colors.

Real result:
keeps on using 640x480 vga screen.
