You need to activate gfxterm as well:
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=gfxterm

[Alberich de megres]

One thing that i just noticed:
how about to configure gfxmenu? isn't it supposed to allow me to
change menu position on the screen and its size?

Re: GRUB_THEME

[Alberich de megres]

Using gfxterm, is now booting with a 800x600 resolution.

But i still could not change menu layout using a theme file:
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Theme-file-format.html

I put GRUB_THEME=/path/to/theme.txt on etc/default/grub file, did
grub-mkconfig but nothing happens, not even  a single line is added to
grub.cfg file referencing the theme.txt file.

Also i tried manually add set theme=/path/to/theme.txt and set
menuviewer=gfxmenu + insmod gfxmenu, but it didn't worked.

I'm using grub 1.99 rc1 (and also the bzr version).

any suggestion?
thanks!!!

Usually means that you have 2 GRUBs in your system: in /usr and
/usr/local and the one you launch is in /usr/local which uses
/usr/local/etc/default/grub

menuviewer variable isn't used anymore. Be sure to use path the way how
GRUB sees it. Also check that all theme components are present. If even
a single file is missing, the theme won't be loaded.

Re: GRUB_THEME

[Alberich de megres]

I'm not sure it worked.
I only can see a black screen.

To test gfxmenu, can i use a dummy theme.txt like:

title-text: "Boot Menu"
title-font: "Helvetica Regular 18"
title-color: "40, 40, 40"

With only this lines, should I be able to see at least the title on the screen?

How could i debug grub to see if there are any error while loading the theme?
(i'm using qemu to test it)

Thanks!

There may be trouble with autodetected video mode. Try explicitly
setting GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD. Also if you attach grub.cfg (rather than
vaguely describe it) it could be helpful

Perhaps you use old version. I've just retested with
