Change grub menu resolution


Hi

i run a dual-boot with ubuntu 23.10 and windows 11. my video driver is nouveau and my native screen resolution is set to 2560x1440.

videoinfo grub command returns only 3 video modes:

Code:
0x000  800x600x32
0x001  1024x768x32
0x002  1280x1024x32
Actually, i can apply only one of this 3 modes

So, how to apply to grub menu a higher screen resolution?

Thanks for help

Sorry but is it possible to make the grub videoinfo command return more video modes so that I can apply a higher resolution close to my system's native resolution?
