Oh, that sounds good, thanks. (For those playing along at home, it's waiting for "gfxpayload" support; http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2009-05/msg00207.html is the most recent mail about this that I could find.) One tricky bit is that, ideally, we'd determine the native resolution somehow - i.e. the resolution that a KMS-enabled Linux kernel will come up in by default - so that GRUB and Linux use the same mode, thereby minimising mode switches. On laptop panels, for instance, it usually looks better to use the native resolution rather than something like 1024x768. Maybe we can just extract the current resolution from /sys or similar at grub-mkconfig time, although that's not obviously always going to work.
