The original = code was using 80x24 terminal as base, it was complained it did end up = with too large fonts, so I did pick uefi terminal size as base (see = output from mode command), but thats also not perfect. Till better = solution, right now the option is to set font manually (screen.font = variable). > I have also noticed large delays between different loader screens, > probably caused by very slow screen blanking given the terminal size? yes, it definitely needs boost.There are few things we can do about it. rgds, toomas
