I don't know how Grub2 works WRT initializing video mode because I don't use it.
Well I do and I changed entries in /etc/default/grub to match my screen/resolution and video:
< GRUB_TERMINAL=gfxterm ---
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console
and
< GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024 ---
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
I also made fonts available and introduced a "default" theme
"Introduced" to what? Is this something that applies post-boot? Something only grub-mkconfig uses? Other???
loadfont ($root)/grub2/themes/openSUSE/DejaVuSans-Bold14.pf2 loadfont ($root)/grub2/themes/openSUSE/DejaVuSans10.pf2 loadfont ($root)/grub2/themes/openSUSE/DejaVuSans12.pf2 loadfont ($root)/grub2/themes/openSUSE/ascii.pf2 set theme=($root)/grub2/themes/openSUSE/theme.txt export theme
YMMV One can, of course, add other fonts, other themes :-) Then YMMV very very much!
I routinely move installations among various displays, so I prefer the convenience of gfxboot and its automatic Grub stanza presentation for editing so I can match up what will be output to the hardware it will be output upon. It's part of one of my personal KISS paradigms. The software development world's preference for itty bitty fonts virtually everywhere just doesn't work for me. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
