No, I don't. It's really weird. Okay, this is DEFINITELY in /etc/defaults/grub
# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
and is, as you can see, uncommented. This is definitely in /etc/grub.d/00_header:
if loadfont `make_system_path_relative_to_its_root "${GRUB_FONT_PATH}"` ; then
set gfxmode=${GRUB_GFXMODE}
set gfxpayload=keep
load_video
insmod gfxterm
fi
I run sudo update-grub, and here's my complete grub.cfg - you can see the set gfxmode stuff doesn't get in.

Is there something weird going on with my update-grub? I wonder if the problem might be the line:
if loadfont `make_system_path_relative_to_its_root "${GRUB_FONT_PATH}"` ; then
in 00_header - I wonder if that IF statement is returning false for some reason?
It didn’t work for me on an Asus 1201N . System Bangs and was unable to boot until GRUB repair.
