You don't have any problems with grub's graphics drivers at all, and
likely never have. Ubuntu's grub-mkconfig overrides the value of
GRUB_TIMEOUT in /etc/default/grub when no other OS is detected,
instead setting it to '0' and making the menu only available by
holding shift or, for platforms that don't support keystatus (like
UEFI), it waits 3 seconds at a blank screen allowing you to press
escape to see the menu).
So, since you're using UEFI, pressing escape within the first 3
seconds after grub has been loaded should lead you to the grub menu.
You should also undo the changes you made to GRUB_TERMINAL and
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT in /etc/default/grub.
Many thanks for your time and solution. Ubuntu's tinkering has been
annoying me for years in other areas so I'm not surprised by your diagnosis.
Presently I'm not near the machine in question, but I'll adopt your
suggestion in the forenoon tomorrow. Until then I live in hope.
