Grub configuration options
I've run into this problem a few times now, grub uses the wrong vga mode to boot up, resulting in an error on boot, well, not an error, but a pause.
This brief outline gives some of the options available: :: Quote :: Here's a table showing frame buffer vga modes:
:: Code :: Color depth | 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024
-----------------+------------------------------------- 256 (8bit)| 769 771 773 775 32000 (15bit)| 784 787 790 793 65000 (16bit)| 785 788 791 794 16.7 Mill.(24bit)| 786 789 792 795 The vga= setting only effects the frame buffer, not X (unless you're using the fbdev driver in X). This'll mean that your console will display at this resolution. Changes to the X resolution can be made in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. savedefault is used to make the default boot option the one last selected. e.g. you select "Windows" when booting, on the next boot "Windows" will be the default. The hexidecimal version is this: :: Code :: 791=0x317
