Bug#550341: grub-efi: breaks efifb

[Michal Suchanek <hramrach@centrum.cz>]

Package: grub-efi
Version: 1.97~beta3-1
Severity: important


With new grub I can finally load linux without editing the config.

However, efifb is now broken. The console geometry is somehow skewed.
The letters are very tall and narrow nad top part of the console is not
visible. A stripe on the right side of the console seem unused.

I think it is something grub does with the video mode. I got similar
results when I attempted to enable vesafb in Linux while efifb was
active.
