[Bug 1245022] Re: Grub screen cuts off to the left since upgrade from Ubuntu 10.04

[sTiVo]

OK, finally to the bottom of this.

Setting GRUB_GFXMODE to 640x480 worked.  I had previously tried with no
setting for this variable or with 1920*1080, the preferred 16x9 aspect
ratio of my monitor.   Neither worked.  No 16x9 aspect ratios are
supported by vbeinfo.

  The grub screen is cut off on the left, but otherwise functional.
  Still, it would be nice to be able to read it.
