With the deprecating of the "vga=791" specification, what is the
method of passing the video resolution to the kernel in a text mode
boot? The setting in grub.cfg gives the grub menu resolution but the
kernel drops back to 640x480 when it starts unless the vga
specification is added to the command line.
I think you want to look at
man 5 console-setup
I don't specify any size in /etc/vconsole.conf or
/etc/default/console-setup though, and my F31 comes up using the max
resolution for my monitor in multiuser. Maybe you have some lingering
setup information on your system?
My /etc/default/console-setup:
# CONFIGURATION FILE FOR SETUPCON
# Consult the console-setup(5) manual page.
ACTIVE_CONSOLES=guess
CHARMAP=guess
CODESET=guess
FONTFACE=TerminusBold
FONTSIZE=16
VIDEOMODE=
# The following is an example how to use a braille font
# FONT='lat9w-08.psf.gz brl-8x8.psf'

$ man 5 console-setup
No manual entry for console-setup in section 5
never encountered sections to man before
Google leads to entries for Debian variants nothing for Fedora on
console-setup
vconsole.conf entries are
FONT=True
KEYMAP=us
To make sure we are talking about the same thing, I'm looking at the log
of the boot process. After boot finishes and the login prompt comes up
the system has accessed the video drivers and comes to the monitor
resolution.
My understanding was that the entries in /etc/default/grub
GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024x32
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
would set the resolution, but I find I need the kernel command line as follows
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 SYSFONT=True KEYTABLE=us rd.luks=0 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 vga=791 "
