Grub install and GRUB_GFXMODE
Doing a fresh install of Funtoo into a virtualbox environment. Instructions followed carefully and subsequent install works well. Xorg has not been installed yet.
From online search, grub2 has deprecated the use of 'vga=x' to change the console size. Recommended practice is to use the 'GRUB_GFXMODE=Horz X Vert' in the file /etc/default/grub.
Change was mode locally to /etc/default/grub. Video mode was tested successfully from grub command line, 'videotest HorzXVert' as set in GRUB_GFXMODE

display {
gfxmode 1024x768
}
