If it can be useful to you, I've set my grub configuration manually
using values obtained with this command:

kamal@rohan:~$ sudo hwinfo --framebuffer | grep 1920
  Mode 0x037c: 1920x1200 (+1920), 8 bits
  Mode 0x037d: 1920x1200 (+7680), 24 bits

Then I converted that value to decimal:

kamal@rohan:~$ printf '%d\n' 0x037d
893

And so I set vga=893 and it's working. (I have to admit that usplash
seems a bit "stretched", but it's better than nothing).

However something is strange because the table I get from hwinfo
doesn't match exactly the one here:

For example hwinfo gives 0x034a for 1600x1200@24 instead of 0x31f. But
for 1024x768@24 it gives the same: 0x318.

However thank you for your help.
