boot message font size

Post by mising »

I have looked around and have been unable to find out how to change the boot screen font resolution.
I can change the resolution of the GRUB screen, but the boot message text stays at what looks like 800x600, ie big, fuzzy, and hard to read.
I would like to increase it to around 1280x800 and add a back ground image if possible.
Right now mine is similar to this:
80898503.jpg
And I would like something similar to this:
boot_fail_1.jpg
Background is not too important, I would just like the text to be more legible.
I am running LMDE X64, Nvidia Go6150 GPU
(I am one of those weird ones that likes to read it as it boots)

Thank you in advance,

Mike

Well mostly solved my own problem.
I installed Startup Manager via Synaptic and fixed the resolution,
but would still like to keep the Linux Mint background through the boot process though.

I have been using OpenSuse for about 6 years and I am still learning some of the differences between the two distros,
and I must say I am really liking the Debian way over RPM based distros.

Thanks again for any help
