How to change console font in grub2?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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
        insmod vbe
