Bug#538060: [grub-pc] vga=XXX is ignored at boot

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20090721-3
Severity: minor
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I think that this is a separate and minor problem in respect to bug 535026, thus I'm
writing this bug report.
I have upgraded to grub2 because of its support to ext4 / partition and tried to replicate
the behavior of its predecessor. The option that seems to be completely ignored is vga=865
(i.e:1280x800), I have also tried to use set gfxpayload=1280x800x32 as suggested at boot
time by grub since a message warns that vga=XXX is deprecated, but the situation didn't
improve.
Given that I'm not so experienced to put my hands on the scripts inside /etc/grub.d/ and
the documentation on grub2 is almost missing, there is something that I'm doing wrong or
is this a minor bug? How can I help to fix?
Cheers
Valerio
