Follow-up Comment #1, bug #33318 (project grub): Most of the things you guessed are wrong. For once GRUB doesn't have any processes. "auto" just uses the highest resolution reported by BIOS. 2.6.37 uses the graphics data passed by GRUB (even 2.6.32 does). "auto" isn't perfected and although it will be made better (by using EDID if found) it will still sometimes fail. Right resolution is sometimes unsupported by BIOS and so gfxpayload with this resolution is equivalent to gfxpayload=text. Furthermore failure of kms to switch mode (and going to purple color) is outside of GRUB scope and indicates a problem with KMS which should be able to switch from any to any supported mode. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?33318> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
