As an experiment, from googling, I have added this:
GRUB_GFXMODE=1366x768x32
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1366x768x32
to /etc/default/grub, when # update-grub2 and rebooted.
Strange effect was achieved, I have seen 1366x768 at the grub's
initial boot moment, where counter counts from 5 seconds to zero and
then console switched back to 640x480. These bright 5 seconds were
enjoyable, though...
Grub restored to the original state and I continue googling.
I just wonder, if there a standard tool with 'howto' how to change a
console resolution in Debian? Or, wiki instructions maybe?
