When I installed grub2 a short while back, I was using the kernel 2.6.31.6 and I enjoyed a full screen of 1024.768 32K color depth. I followed the steps outlined here <http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB2#Setting_the_framebuffer_resolution> to the letter and all was great.
But when the kernel26 package upgraded to 2.6.32.2, This functionality broke. I ended up having to remove the video related stuff from my grub line to get my system to boot. When I say this didn't work anymore, basically my system wouldn't boot and I end up with a blank screen showing.
When I experimented by removing the insmod statement and using vga=790 by itself, the best I get is a 30 line display with 80 columns width.
Anyone know what changed? It would appear that we may need to update the wiki page with new info for grub2 and video resolution.
KMS conflicts with vga,video. What GPU do you have ?
