Comment 8 for bug 1245022

actually, I could not. No setting made the problem go away. One setting used less of the screen, but that didn't matter. I STILL saw the same cutoff screen only further to the right with empty space to the left.

What's so special about GRUB? Why can't it use the same monitor settings that Ubuntu itself (or the BIOS screen for that matter) seems to find without difficulty? I am tempted to say that the inability to detect the proper video mode is a bug in GRUB. Nothing else has this problem.
