So I recently decided to try install windows 7 and ubuntu 12.10 in UEFI mode and succeeded in doing that. Both system load as the should and everything works perfectly but there is one thing that keeps bothering me and it is grub resolution.
Before that I was usinf dual boot system Ubuntu and wIndows in BIOS mode and grub resolution was correct 1366x768 (which is my native resolution) After reinstalling both OS in UEFI mode grub resolution became wrong (which I assume is 640x480) BUT Splash screen resolution on boot and shutdown is CORRECT (1366x768). Only grub boot menu is incorrect.

What I tried:
editing sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
and uncommenting GRUB_GFXMODE + setting resolution 1366x768 DIDN'T WORK

Tried to edit line above + sudo gedit /etc/grub.d/00_header where I add line
set gfxpayload=keep under line set gfxmode=${GRUB_GFXMODE} DIDN'T WORK.

So I consider that to be a bug cause again when I had both systems installed in BIOS mode my resolution was correct in grub menu.

I am running ASUS laptop K53SV
intel HD 3000 + Nvidia Optimus GeForce GT (bumblebee installed)
+ xorg edgers ppa (so all drivers are up-to date)
