This is not a big deal but this has been frustrating for a while now.
My graphic card is an RTX 3070
When I boot with grub I am stuck with a very low resolution, probably 1024.
I checked the command
videoinfo
in grub prompt and it returns two possible resolutions, 860x480 or 1024x768
But when I boot from a ubuntu live CD though, the resolution is fine (let's say high enough).
I compared parameters passed to the kernel and tried to imitate in arch the one in ubuntu but without any success.
I have tried different combination but ATM my parameters are such as:
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Arch"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nvidia-drm.modeset=1 quiet splash"
GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES="part_gpt part_msdos"
GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT=console
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=gfxterm
GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
GRUB_COLOR_NORMAL="light-blue/black"
GRUB_COLOR_HIGHLIGHT="light-cyan/blue"
GRUB_BACKGROUND="/boot/grub/arch.png"
GRUB_THEME="/usr/share/grub/themes/Vimix/theme.txt"
**EDIT:** I tried to set GRUB_GFXMODE
with higher resolutions, auto
and to specify the depth (width x height x depth
) it had no effect
**EDIT2:** I used videoinfo
not vbeinfo
