I have "#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480" commented.
I tried GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x800 but it makes very small fonts in console
and not full screen.
I tried GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 instead "video=LVDS-1:640x480" in
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX but I have no useful effect.
With the 2.6.32-5-kernel from oficial Debian distro only
"video=LVDS-1:640x480" in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX resolves my problem not
GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 or GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x800 or video=LVDS-1:1280x800.
But with the kernel from backports that problem does not resolve by any
of the above means.
