How to change GRUB Bootup screen resolution


Ques:-My monitor resolution is 1400×1050 , so the bootup screen that appears for selecting OS to boot the system is so small, appearing at the center of screen … is it possible to change the resolution ?

Distro: SuSE Linux 10.2

Soln:- Try to add vga=XXX to the kernel line in grubs config file (usually /boot/grub/menu.lst)

XXX is a three digit number indicating the resolution and color
Here are some common ones:
640×480 – 785
800×600 – 788
1024×768 – 791
1152×864 – 355
1280×1024 – 794

1600×1200 – 798

Check out the “Kernel mode numbers” section at Here for a ?complete? list
