Thanks for the tip, "set gfxmode=1024x768" works fine. I want to load
these modules in "grub.cfg" file, puting them in the top of the file
doesn't work but making a menu entery that load them works fine, is
this normal ?

Now I'm able to display menu enteries in Arabic. Although grub2
deosn't support RTL nor Arabic shaping, a quicke workaround is to
store the Arabic text in grub.cfg already Shapped by using a tool like
fribidi2 (cvs branch) or "mu"  [ftp://foolab.org/tmp/mu-fribidi.zip]

$ mu < grub.cfg > grub_ar.cfg

then coping "grub_ar.cfg" to grub/grub.cfg.

Here a screenshoot without RTL and shaping

, and this one with

Also I wrote a mini-howto in Arabic
[http://khalid_hosny.manalaa.net/grub2_arabic_howto] if any one
interested
