Bug#1024817: grub2-common: /etc/default/grub still refers to 'vbeinfo' in the comments, should be 'videoinfo' now

[Bart Cornelis]

Package: grub2-common
Version: 2.06-5
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

There's currently the following comment in /etc/default/grub:

# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'

the vbeinfo command in grub does not exist anymore, that should now be videoinfo
comment should be changed accordingly

It appears that VBE and 'vbeinfo' are available only with legacy BIOS
boot, not UEFI boot. This misled a user with a UEFI setup:
<https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=154097>

Attached patch replaces 'vbeinfo' with 'videoinfo' which provides the
same information and is available with both BIOS and UEFI boot.

Thanks.
