Adjusting screen res of dualboot screen
I have a dualboot system installed. When I reboot I get a screen that allows me to make my OS choice. How can I adjust the resolution. The font is tiny so I want to change to a much lower res. Usint Mint Nadia 64bit on a T61 Thinkpad with a 15.4" screen.

Re: Adjusting screen res of dualboot screen
I've been using Grub Customizer for a while and want to know how to take out the automatic timer count down. Can it be done editing the grub file in /etc/default? If so, how?

It's on the general settings tab. Set it to 0. To get the menu you'll have to hold down the shift key as grub starts up.newyorkpaulie wrote:I've been using Grub Customizer for a while and want to know how to take out the automatic timer count down.
You can edit grub.cfg, if you really must, but I recommend against it.Can it be done editing the grub file in /etc/default? If so, how?
