Don't you have any values for "GRUB_GFXMODE" or
"GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX" set in "/etc/default/grub"? You have to set
them to the resolution that you want to use.
"GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT" sets the command line for the regular
menu entry and "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX" sets the command line for both the
regular and the recovery menu entries.
