When I installed grub2 a short while back, I was using the kernel
2.6.31.6 and I enjoyed a full screen of 1024.768 32K color depth. I
followed the steps outlined here
<http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB2#Setting_the_framebuffer_resolution>
to the letter and all was great.
But when the kernel26 package upgraded to 2.6.32.2, This functionality
broke. I ended up having to remove the video related stuff from my grub
line to get my system to boot. When I say this didn't work anymore,
basically my system wouldn't boot and I end up with a blank screen showing.
When I experimented by removing the insmod statement and using vga=790
by itself, the best I get is a 30 line display with 80 columns width.
Anyone know what changed? It would appear that we may need to update the
wiki page with new info for grub2 and video resolution.
