	I agree there should be a way to adjust screen size, but am 
wondering whether it should be handled in the new and relatively 
undocumented grub2 as well.  There was a recent discussion of this on 
the SpeakUP mailing list, and thought I'd mention it since the topic is 
being brought up.

	Myself, I prefer the defacto standard of 80x25, and am not sure 
how many programs are going to be affected by alternate screen 
dimensions and whether they're supported or not.  It may be worth the 
experimentation on my new widescreen monitor for sighted users who need 
to see what we're doing, but I personally don't need it.  I don't use a 
braille display, but I do want my display to look okay, if only for 
pride's sake.
