+@deffn Command efitextmode [min | max | mode_num]
+When used with no arguments displays all available text output modes. The
+set mode determines the columns and rows of the text display when in
+text mode. An asterisk, @samp{*}, will be at the end of the line of the
+currently set mode.
+
+Otherwise the command only takes a single parameter, which can be
+@samp{min}, @samp{max}, or a mode number given by the listing when run
+with no arguments. These arguments set the mode to the minimum, maximum,
+and particular mode respectively.
+
+By default GRUB will start in whatever mode the EFI firmware defaults to.
+There are firmwares known to setup the default mode such that output

The verb *set up* is spelled with a space.

+behaves strangely. Setting the mode can fix this.

+
+Note: This command is only available on EFI platforms.
