Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20090725-1
Severity: normal
I specify GRUB_GFXMODE="1280x1024x8" in my /etc/default/grub.
GRUB2 correctly sets up the 1280x1024 mode.
Debian also found /boot/grub/moreblue-orbit-grub.png so GRUB2
uses it for the background.
Problem is: moreblue-orbit-grub.png is only 648x480 so it does
not cover the whole screen: the rest of the screen ends up with
a black background, which makes the black foreground used for the
text completely unreadable.

GRUB 1.98 added bitmap scaling support, so this should be fixed now by
way of resizing the background image to cover the whole screen.
