Comment 3 for bug 416772

I tried to add the the set gfxpayload=1280x800x24 prior to the linux command but the console and splash display in 640x480. Here is my /etc/grub.d/10_linux, linux_entry function. I would like to get this working as now the boot experience is just plain ugly:

linux_entry ()
{
  cat << EOF
menuentry "$1" {
EOF
  if [ "x$3" = "xquiet" ]; then
    cat << EOF
 set quiet=1
EOF
  fi
  save_default_entry | sed -e "s/^/\t/"
  prepare_grub_to_access_device ${GRUB_DEVICE_BOOT} | sed -e "s/^/\t/"
  cat << EOF
 set gfxpayload=1280x800x24
 linux ${rel_dirname}/${basename} root=${linux_root_device_thisversion} ro $2
EOF
  if test -n "${initrd}" ; then
    cat << EOF
 initrd ${rel_dirname}/${initrd}
EOF
  fi
  cat << EOF
}
EOF
}
