Hi, AHA, an undocumented feature. At least, it is not documented in the /etc/default/grub file itself. You need to do: info grub Bet you didn't know about that. :) Well I knew about info but when I want to know about syntax I use mainly man, but there is no man page for grub.

Hi, I do not understand the defaults build into Grub2. For instance the default resolution, it is at 640x480. Which machine running Linux cannot at least use 800x600? Or is Grub2 made with hendhelds as a target environment as well? Yes - especially those squint-o-vision widescreen ratio

gfxpayload=keep at the proper place. You should not need to change the 00_header script. Adding a line into /etc/default/grub, after the GRUB_GFXMODE entry with GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep should make grub keep the screen resolution. AHA, an undocumented feature. At least, it is not documented
