Hi Christian,

Did you uncomment that line. I show you mine.
The gfxpayload=keep parameter will keep your resolution also for the
console.

/etc/default/grub
- ----------------------
# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via
# VBE you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600x32

/etc/grub.d/00_header
- ----------------------
case x${GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT} in
xgfxterm)
# Make the font accessible
prepare_grub_to_access_device `${grub_probe} --target=device
${GRUB_FONT_PATH}`

cat << EOF
if loadfont `make_system_path_relative_to_its_root ${GRUB_FONT_PATH}` ; then
set gfxmode=${GRUB_GFXMODE}
set gfxpayload=keep
insmod gfxterm
insmod ${GRUB_VIDEO_BACKEND}
if terminal_output gfxterm ; then true ; else
# For backward compatibility with versions of terminal.mod that
# don't understand terminal_output
terminal gfxterm
fi
fi
EOF

/boot/grub/grub.cfg
