One of the reasons that I tried it and In my (limited) reading of grub2 docs and a few tests, gfxmode changes the video mode only for grub[1], it does not replicate the behaviour of the "old" vga= variable.

IIRC it was mentioned by grub itself when I tried adding the vga= parameter to the kernel line, something like (from memory) "The vga= parameter is deprecated, set gfxpayload instead" Regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
