Re: GRUB_GFXMODE= 60 refresh how?

[Arbiel Perlacremaz]

Hi

grub (legacy) and grub2 are bootloaders. As such, they stand outside of 
any system and so, there is no reason to find any man page relative to 
these pieces of software.

You will find manpages for commands running under the control of the 
system, as grub-install, grub-mkconfig, …

As for grub.cfg, this has to be seen as a script written in grub's 
language, of which specifications are to be found at
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/
