Thanks For your help!
I stayed with the 3.10 kernel for now. Maybe upgrade to the 3.11 later.
I tried to keep the grub password, yeah, a nuisance but quirky, I like
quirky.
But Magic Banana, I did your steps re grub a little out of order, my
grub.conf file reads
GRUB_DEFAULT="saved"
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT="true"
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
and I did $ sudo update-grub
then rebooted and was right back into the 3.13 kernel with fat resolution.
So I rebooted again to the 3.10 kernel and made all lines of
/etc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD start with "#" did the update-grub again
rebooted and this time 3.10 kernel and proper resolution happened by default
so it's good. I guess it's all dependent on a passwordless grub?
Since I have Fedora 21 and Centos 7 installed on the hard drive also, could I
do grub-update while in either of those to have that grub would handle
bootups after that?
I have no reason to do that, just wondering.
A more important question might be is grub needed in each OS?
