GRUB used to have a high resolution, now it has gone down to a very low one, and I haven't made any changes in my system. Modyfing the settings in /etc/default/grub doesn't do a thing.
Maybe it's the video drivers (I'm using modesetting, not Intel)?
Is anyone experiencing the same thing?

I don't use GRUB, so I can't say much, but I can promise you your Xorg drivers don't have anything at all to do with your boot loader.

GRUB does not use modesetting or intel as it runs before the kernel or and kernel or X driver are loaded.
If you did not update grub or its config then how could it change? Or is the resolution you are referring to something after linux is started?

@Trillby: Yes, I thought so. Thanks.
@loqs: I didn't change anything. In fact, when actually changing, it ignores my settings.
The package was updated 2 days ago. Maybe it has something to do with that.
This is what I mean:
The fonts and everything used to be smaller and better-looking.

I have the same problem too. Which means I can't use my own Custom Image for Grub.

Looks like a disabled framebuffer.
Please paste /boot/grub/grub.cfg and error/debug messages from a grub-mkconfig run.

Tries to set gfxterm, missing module/font?
ls -lR /boot/grub
Otherwise try to pre-load all_video and gfxterm.

Related or unrelated - I am unable to display grub in a high resolution booting with an nvidia GT 1030. If I boot using the on board graphics, grub is displayed in a high res. mode.

This seems to be what I mean. It's probably related to the update on June 20.
We'll have to wait and see what happens.
Thanks!
