As we're discussig gfxpayload: since 1.98-1 grub supports a 'GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1600x1200x32' option in /etc/default/grub. You don't need to edit any files in /etc/grub.d/ anymore. Just make sure you check what modes your gpu supports with vbeinfo in the grub console first.

I just noticed what I think is the same bug. Whenever I try to switch to a console using e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F1, my display says no signal and turns off until I switch back to the desktop. This is newish behavior, though I don't remember exactly when I last needed a console. In any case, it wasn't like

gfxmode/gfxpayload in grub2 doesn't really work properly with the kernel yet. vga= works but only if you use linux16/initrd16 rather than the linux/initrd commands. However, when you installed grub1 instead, did you have to use vga= as suggested in a previous comment? If so, then to be honest

No, - I've never had to use vga= with grub1, so the kernel is working fine. I also tried removing gfxpayload and it didn't make any difference (I added that to see if it would fix the inability to switch in the first place). Strangely, I *could* get to the tty consoles from Jaunty if I booted
