 The default grub alternative is 1024x768 (kernel vga=0x317).  There is
 also a 800x600 (vga=0x314) alternative.  Activities which assume 1200x900
 end up extending past the edge of the screen.

 I suggest adding a third alternative, 1280x1024 (kernel vga=0x31A) to
 provide a workaround.  It being easier to deal with an activity which
 fails to fill the screen, rather than extending beyond it.  The default
 should however remain unchanged, as this is too big for many peoples'
 monitors.

 Someday someone will figure out how to get 1200x900.  But for now...
