+ * Use "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16,1024x768" instead of vga=791 in
+ grub2 configuration. This requires a recent version of the linux
+ loader as the new linux loader loads the kernel at 32bit entry point
+ and not at 16 bit anymore so it has to be translated for the Linux
+ kernel (as the kernel parses vga= in 16 bit code). In the long run
+ we don't seem to have another option, so let's change it.
+ Thanks to Felix Zielcke and Robert Millan for first hand information.
