Bug#749398: grub-pc: GRUB menu display errors (low resolution, greyscale, minor glitches)

Stefan Nagy public at stefan-nagy.at

Package: grub-pc
Version: 2.00-22
Severity: normal

When I connect an external display to my netbook (over HDMI) and boot, GRUB
menu will always appear only on the external display with display errors: low
resolution, greyscale, minor glitches (I'll attach two photos showing the
display errors). I can reproduce this issue on two different displays, both
have a resolution of 1680x1050px.

When I boot without an external display connected to my netbook GRUB menu shows
up without any glitches (correct resolution with is 1366x768px and in color) on
the internal display.

I'm reporting this after a fresh install of Debian Testing on an HP Folio
13-2000 netbook, the graphics controller is an Intel Corporation 2nd Generation
Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0116] (rev 09).

This is a regression but I'm sorry I can't say when this bug hit me (it's
possible that it was introduced with 2.00-22).
