[Bug 1245022] Re: Grub screen cuts off to the left since upgrade from Ubuntu 10.04

[sTiVo]

actually, I could not.  No setting made the problem go away.  One
setting used less of the screen, but that didn't matter.  I STILL saw
the same cutoff screen only further to the right with empty space to the
left.

What's so special about GRUB?  Why can't it use the same monitor
settings that Ubuntu itself (or the BIOS screen for that matter) seems
to find without difficulty?  I am tempted to say that the inability to
detect the proper video mode is a bug in GRUB.  Nothing else has this
problem.

  The grub screen is cut off on the left, but otherwise functional.
