Does anyone know the secret sauce that's needed to change the colour of
the font in a high-res (1600x1200) console when using grub2 in F13? (By
"console" I mean the "framebuffer-based" console. X isn't running yet.)
The back-story:
Last evening I built and installed grub2 on my new F13 system. Turns
out that "vga=838" (i.e. 1600x1200x16) at the end of the kernel line
no longer works. In Grub1 it gave a nice 1600x1200 console outside
of X.
Below, I've marked the two magic lines I added to the "menuentry" in
/boot/grub/grub.cfg to get the hi-res console. But the font is an
ugly hard-to-read green on black and I don't know how to make it
white on black like I had before.
menuentry "F13, with Linux 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
## These two lines give a 1600x1200 console ##
set gfxmode=1600x1200x16
