While the patches above are an improvement over the current situation,
it still doesn't resolve my problem.  I still get the 'No suitable video
modes, booting in blind mode' message after activating a GRUB entry,
unless I manually "insmod all_video"...

Here's my grub.cfg, along with a blank one generated by 'grub-mkconfig'
for comparison.
