GOP set/get/list is the only interface with uefi graphics we can use from bo=
otloader. =46rom loader, we only can try to use resolutions listed by gop li=
st, even if the hardware does support better. This is the firmware limit (ch=
eck for update?). Once operating system is running, X11/DRM drivers can swit=
ch to use better resolution.
