I tried the following on F18.
I edited the line, found in file /etc/default/grub, which starts
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md=0 ... rhgb quiet"
appending strings so it had
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md=0 ... rhgb quiet"
drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/1024x768.bin video=VGA-1:e
I next edited any existing lines in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg that had the string
"rhgb quiet" to include the
drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/1024x768.bin video=VGA-1:e
string which I since learned is the wrong things to do.
From my limited understanding, /boot/grub2/grub.cfg is auto-generated using
/etc/default/grub each time /boot/grub2/grub.cfg is recreated.
I should have used the grub2-mkconfig command instead of editing
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg directly.
I can't comment about the actual options but they won't be included in
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX if you don't include them within the quotes as
you've done:
"rd.md=0 ... rhgb quiet"
drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/1024x768.bin video=VGA-1:e
You need:
"rd.md=0 ... rhgb quiet drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/1024x768.bin
video=VGA-1:e"
