Re: no suitable video mode found

[YuGiOhJCJ Mailing-List]

I finally found how to get rid of the "no suitable video mode found" message.
I need to add the "insmod all_video" line to my /boot/grub/grub.cfg file.
Here is a working simple example:
---
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg
menuentry "Linux" {
        insmod all_video
        echo "Loading Linux..."
        search --no-floppy -u --set=root 20f4d726-6cec-4f00-b941-bab03fdff981
        linux /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 ro
}
menuentry "Windows" {
        echo "Loading Windows..."
        search --no-floppy -u --set=root 7E75-0EC2
        chainloader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
}
---
Problem solved!
