Uhm this is actually confusing. First you said with and without gfxterm
it works and then that it still uses text mode.
Please make sure you get the gfxterm with 1.96+20090808-1
Just run the commands in command line.

loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2
set gfxmode=640x480
insmod gfxterm
insmod vbe
terminal_output gfxterm
