The string gfxmode is not to be found on https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
It's not a kernel parameter.
It's a grub parameter
I know, but kernels normally obey kernel parameters, and your problem is post-Grub2 menu, right?
https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/gfxmode.html
so if you want the framebuffers running 1920x1080 I suggest you get video=1920x1080 onto the kernel cmdline at least once somehow. Just to sample its effect you can edit it in on the fly within your Grub2 menu at runtime.
It already is.
cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.19.2-3.gd8856ce-default ... video=1920x1080@60 ...
According to https://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Using_Custom_Framebuffer_Res... what you need instead of GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1920x1080 is GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1920x1080x32 or x24 or x16, IOW, bit depth is needed in addition to resolution if you wish a non-VESA mode applied. AFAIK, there is no such thing as a VESA mode that is a wide aspect ratio. All are either 4:3 or 5:4. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
