bug#24948: Illegible GRUB menu

[Leo Famulari]

On my Thinkpad x200s running GuixSD, the graphical GRUB menu is
scrambled and illegible. I've attached a photograph of the problem.

The grid of dots is stable, while the faint yellow horizontal lines
dance around. I can tell it's the GuixSD GRUB image, but it's scrambled.

I am able to press Enter to skip the GRUB timeout, and the system does
boot normally.

This is not a recent regression; I've been working around it with the
diff below for a few months now.

I don't know very much about computer graphics. Please let me know what
information I can provide.
