Could someone please advise how I might achieve a menu display on my new
Siemens (sorry, Fujitsu) Lifebook. grub.cfg appears to be sound and I do
hear the GRUB_INIT_TUNE, proving that my modified /etc/default/grub is
being used by update-grub.

Screen resolution is 1366x768, but I've set GRUB_GFXMODE to auto as I'm
not convinced that 1366x768 would work. I should also mention that the
system is using an EFI with which I'm not totally familiar and which I
guess is at the root of the problem. Where might I find a handbook on
EFI in relation to GRUB so that RTFM would have some meaning?


Try for a start setting GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=console to exclude gfxterm
from equation.
Thanks for your support. The effect of your suggestion was:

error:no video mode activated

This looks like progress, but I'm not sure of the direction. For information, there is no video.lst in /boot/grub, but such a file does appear in /boot/grub/x86_64-efi should that be relevant.

Contents of said file are (each on its own line) efi_gop; efi_uga; video_bochs and video_cirrus. None of this looks relevant to the i915 Intel graphics used in this machine.

Any further diagnostic suggestions will be warmly welcomed.
