Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.99-17
Followup-For: Bug #659813

Dear Maintainer,

I can confirm this, but I am not so exactly sure since when this is the
case, but I think it started in the recent weeks.

Additionally to the missing background image also setting a resolution
is not working anymore. If wished, I report a different bug about this.

Expected results:

Background image and resolution settings are respected.


This is on a ThinkPad T520 with Full HD display.


Although a /boot/efi partition is available, I do not use EFI at the
moment since I didn´t get it to at least try to boot the OS. The BIOS
just always seems to think there is nothing to boot from with EFI.
Wether with MBR or GPT. MBR is in use right now.


Background image and unicode font exist:
