  Hello!
  
  I've recently updated to grub2 (by installing grub-pc) and I noticed
  something new and strange.
  
  In the previous version of grub, I used ā€œ# defoptions=vga=0x37dā€ in
  /boot/grub/menu.lst to set the video mode. I'm using an nVidia card and
  this causes 1920x1200 to be used (in 32 bits I think), which is the
  native resolution of my flat panel. This didn't get passed on
  automatically to grub2, so I added it in /etc/default/grub under
  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. With this setting the boot process is
  started in the correct resolution.
  
  However, right after the GRUB screen goes away, before anything else is
  displayed, I see the following warning for a second or so at the top of
  the screen:
  
  vga=0x37d is deprecated. Mode 893 isn't recognized. Use set
  gfxpayload=WIDTHxHEIGHT[xDEPTH] before linux command instead.
  
  I'm not sure if it's grub or the linux kernel that displays this
  message. I'll investigate a bit more.
