[Bug 480153] Re: strange warning about video mode on boot

[Bogdan Butnaru]

Hi!

I played a bit more with this. I believe the warning comes from GRUB,
because it is displayed in GRUB's video mode instead of the one set for
the kernel. (However, it may just be that the kernel prints this before
actually changing its mode, I'm not sure.)

Also, I tried doing what it says, i.e. adding "set gfxpayload=1920x1200"
before the linux command, and removing the “vga=0x37d” part. (I did this
by manually editing the boot command in GRUB's menu, and pressing
Ctrl+x, not by changing GRUB's settings, in case it matters.)

This didn't work. I got a mostly blank screen (there were some bright
green rectangles displayed on the bottom of the screen for a few
seconds), until the GDM progress screen showed up. Switching to a
console gets me the same blank screen, but I can switch back to X.
