GRUB resolution #computers

🕕︎ - 2021-01-06

On my laptop GRUB defaults to display in the full resolution of the screen (3840x2160) which means tiny, tiny letters on the screen. I literally have to put on reading glasses to see them.

Fortunately the Arch wiki has the information I need: Setting the framebuffer resolution; after putting on my glasses and typing videoinfo on the GRUB command line, I found a line to put in /etc/default/grub that works:

GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1200x32,auto

A quick sudo update-grub later, and now the text is legible to me. Nice, thanks Arch wiki!

How to comment, in excruciating detail…

To avoid spam many websites make you fill out a CAPTCHA, or log in via an account at a corporation such as Twitter, Facebook, Google or even Microsoft GitHub.

I have chosen to use a more old school method of spam prevention.
