Title:
  start in low graphic mode for nvidia card

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  since a recent update (the one about gfxpayload added by default on
  boot), my nvidia card is making the X server starting in low graphic
  mode with the nvidia proprietary driver.

  $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

  Section "Screen"
   Identifier	"Default Screen"
   DefaultDepth	24
  EndSection

  Section "Module"
   Load	"glx"
  EndSection

  Section "Device"
   Identifier	"Default Device"
   Driver	"nvidia"
   Option	"NoLogo"	"True"
  EndSection

  nvidia card:
  VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G71 [GeForce Go 7900 GS] (rev a1)

  
  ---------
  If I edit to remove gfxpayload=keep, I can boot with an ugly plymouth splashscreen, but at least, I have my full resolution higher than 1024x678
