grub: gfxpayload
15.1.13 gfxpayload
------------------
If this variable is set, it controls the video mode in which the Linux
kernel starts up, replacing the 'vga=' boot option (⇒linux). It
may be set to 'text' to force the Linux kernel to boot in normal text
mode, 'keep' to preserve the graphics mode set using 'gfxmode', or any
of the permitted values for 'gfxmode' to set a particular graphics mode
(⇒gfxmode).
Depending on your kernel, your distribution, your graphics card, and
the phase of the moon, note that using this option may cause GNU/Linux
to suffer from various display problems, particularly during the early
part of the boot sequence. If you have problems, set this variable to
'text' and GRUB will tell Linux to boot in normal text mode.
The default is platform-specific. On platforms with a native text
mode (such as PC BIOS platforms), the default is 'text'. Otherwise the
default may be 'auto' or a specific video mode.
This variable is often set by 'GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX' (⇒Simple
configuration).
