I don't think that patch actually results in any effective change at boot time.
- echo " gfxmode \$linux_gfx_mode" | sed "s/^/$submenu_indentation/" + echo " gfxpayload \$linux_gfx_payload" | sed "s/^/$submenu_indentation/" ... but gfxmode is a function, and its definition hasn't meaningfully changed here. All you've done is rename it. Likewise, linux_gfx_mode is only used within this file, and you've just changed all references to it, so nothing actually changes. And while in some ways it could be argued that the changed names are less confusing, the value of GRUB's gfxpayload variable does still describe a mode - the difference between the gfxmode and gfxpayload variables is that the first sets the mode for GRUB's graphical terminal while the second sets the mode that the Linux kernel starts in, but they're still both modes, so I would definitely argue that "linux_gfx_mode" is still a good choice of variable name. The thing that confused you is that the "gfxmode" *function* is used to set the "gfxpayload" *variable* (among other functions), which I'll concede is a bit confusing. But it doesn't make any difference to GRUB that the argument passed to the gfxmode function isn't a valid value for the gfxmode variable, because it isn't used to set that variable. So ... I think you need to research this further, and the problem is probably just that this is hardware on which gfxpayload=keep doesn't work. Perhaps this is a kernel bug, and/or perhaps it needs to be blacklisted in the grub-gfxpayload-lists package (note also the update- grub-gfxpayload manual page in that package that describes a local workaround). ** Tags removed: patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1736023 Title: Graphics is corrupt on VT1-VT7 even during boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1736023/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
