Framebuffer in Ubuntu 12.04 (NVidia)
After a new install of 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04.2, my grub menu appeared in a nice, small font in a framebuffer and when Ubuntu loaded, the logo and red/white dots were small and crisp.
I've installed packages I need and fully updated the install (but it's still 12.04, not 12.10). Now the grub framebuffer and the loading logo and in a large, blurry font.
I've read this answer, but I'm not sure if it relates to what I am experiencing... I don't have nomodeset in /etc/default/grub.
Has an update changed my grub settings? Can I just uncomment this in my /etc/default/grub file:
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
and set it to 1680x1050 (22" LCD native resolution) and run update-grub to get back the nice framebuffer?

Yes, you can do this if this mode is supported. You can also check Enabling Nvidia driver messes up splash screen for nice Ubuntu logo during startup.
