image that looks perfectly fine in gimp, or eog, or whatever,
but when grub displays it, the colors are completely wacked
out - not at all like the colors specified in the xpm file.
More basic video drivers being used at boot time?
I've only done this on a laptop, and it stretches out the pictures at
boot time, making them look woeful in that regards. I haven't tried it
on a box that can do a native 640x480 display, yet.
