Bug Description

When I enter grub, whole interface is really unresponsive and rendering is visibly slow. This is not new issue, so I was invastigating why is this happening. When I enetered grub console after reboot and entered 'videoinfo' command, grub answered 'Secure boot forbids loading module from hd(...)...videoinfo.mod'.
When I disable secure boot, everything works as expected.
While I am using dual boot with windows 11, I need to keep secure boot enabled, so the only solution from my point of view is to add videoinfo module into 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package.

It is true that the videoinfo module cannot be loaded under SecureBoot mode. Your bug report does not explain why you need to load it when SecureBoot is on. As the name suggests, this is an informational command only.

I have 2k monitor, if grub2 efi is not builtin this module, Grub2 menu will not display right resolution. I was working fine on Ubuntu 21.10, but it's not working now on Ubuntu 22.04 :)

It's still the case (Jammy)

Of course one may workaround it with disabling temporarily SecureBoot but why would they ?
