Hi!

I played a bit more with this. I believe the warning comes from GRUB, because it is displayed in GRUB's video mode instead of the one set for the kernel. (However, it may just be that the kernel prints this before actually changing its mode, I'm not sure.)

Also, I tried doing what it says, i.e. adding "set gfxpayload=1920x1200" before the linux command, and removing the “vga=0x37d” part. (I did this by manually editing the boot command in GRUB's menu, and pressing Ctrl+x, not by changing GRUB's settings, in case it matters.)

This didn't work. I got a mostly blank screen (there were some bright green rectangles displayed on the bottom of the screen for a few seconds), until the GDM progress screen showed up. Switching to a console gets me the same blank screen, but I can switch back to X.
