1 Hi,
2
3 I just migrated to grub2 which works fine thanks to the good
4 Gentoo docs! :)

6 But...
7
8 I need to increase the resolution of the boot screen to
9 see what is going on there.
10 The docs say, that with the command "vbeinfo" from the grub
11 console I can see the valid modes of my grpahics card.
12 Now...the current resolution of the grub console compbined
13 with the unfortunate sorting of the output of vbeinfo I am
14 currently only able to read the last entries of this realy
15 long list.
16 Therefore...I need the whole output of vbeinfo to set the
17 console resulotion that way, so I will be able to read the
18 output of vbeinfo....
19
20 deadlock?
21
22 Nice things like 'less' or such are not available....
23
24 What can I do?

26 Thank you very much in advance for any help!
