[Bug 315109] [NEW] startupmanager can't set all available boot resolutions

[Bogdan Butnaru]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: startupmanager

Hello! I've just installed startupmanager and ran it once.

I noticed that the "Boot options" display resolutions offers a certain
list of options. It just so happens that it doesn't include every
available video mode on my card (nVidia), for instance vga=892 (which is
1920x1200, my screen's native resolution).

I know that this is not very widely available, and might even be non-
standard, so it's not necessarily safe to include it by default. But the
app should detect if an unknown mode is already enabled in menu.lst and
offer it in the menu.

(In my case I just switched the mode once to see what happens, and
noticed I had no way of returning to my custom mode without editing
grub's menu.lst.)
