Title:
strange warning about video mode on boot
Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Hello!
I've recently updated to grub2 (by installing grub-pc) and I noticed
something new and strange.
In the previous version of grub, I used “# defoptions=vga=0x37d” in
/boot/grub/menu.lst to set the video mode. I'm using an nVidia card
and this causes 1920x1200 to be used (in 32 bits I think), which is
the native resolution of my flat panel. This didn't get passed on
automatically to grub2, so I added it in /etc/default/grub under
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. With this setting the boot process is
started in the correct resolution.
However, right after the GRUB screen goes away, before anything else
is displayed, I see the following warning for a second or so at the
top of the screen:
vga=0x37d is deprecated. Mode 893 isn't recognized. Use set
gfxpayload=WIDTHxHEIGHT[xDEPTH] before linux command instead.
I'm not sure if it's grub or the linux kernel that displays this
message. I'll investigate a bit more.
