Have you checked if the configuration was actually applied?
IOW, what is output from 'grep /proc/cmdline'? The kernel cmdline is always right near the top of Xorg.0.log too.
If I was using Grub2 I'd try changing that GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX to replace vga=0x034c with video=1920x1080@60.
With
grep 1920 /etc/default/grub GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080 GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1920x1080 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" ... video=1920x1080@60"
after grub2-mkconfig
grep 'gfxmode' /boot/grub2/grub.cfg set gfxmode=1920x1080
The console's text size is the same - no change.
The string gfxmode is not to be found on https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt 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. I have no idea why Grub2 seems inept for your installation. In menu.lst stanzas video= gets the job done for all my ATI, Intel and NVidia gfxchips ever since somewhere around 11.3 when openSUSE got its first KMS kernels.
If you are referring to text on the screen without X running and after having made your boot menu selection, it's no big deal here on any of my 13.2 installations, but they all use Grub, not Grub2. Getting 1920x1080 on a 1920x1080 display can be as simple as including video=1920x1080 in the Grub stanza kernel cmdline, which works for ATI, Intel and NVidia gfxcards.
You're booting standard BIOS, not UEFI, right?
Yes, but once we're past the bootloader menu that difference should be irrelevant.
If you don't like the results, there are tools to make resolution changes once you've logged in, including fbset from 13.1 repos and kmscon from later repos. Another option is to leave the resolution as is, and specify a different CONSOLE_FONT in /etc/sysconfig/console.
Not familiar with either. I'll take a look. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation)
