[Bug 1093171] Re: /etc/default/grub references vbeinfo

[scoopex]

Sorry, i oversight the fact that "vbeinfo" needs to be inserted at the
grub prompt.

I added "1600x900" because this was show in the output of  "vbeinfo",
but it has no effect.

What needs to be used to change the graphics mode? (The hexcode?)

** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu)
