Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what that's supposed to do, because that 
doesn't work either. I had already tried "set gfxpayload=800x600" and 
have now also tried GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=800x600 and regenerated the 
grub.cfg, and that also doesn't work.

This is supposed to set the physical console resolution, correct?

The screen appears at one point to be at 800x600, then flashes and 
appears to be something closer to 1900x1280.

Thanks again,
Alex
