For test, the default mode should be readable and logo/brand images ok = and the console after boot usable as well. The resolution switch (gop or = vbe) should end up with usable screen as well, and when you enter menu, = the boot menu should be ok. gop get/vbe get will list current mode, show screen.font will tell font = size. Currently it is known the 8-bit depth may have issues in some systems = (bios, UEFI only does have 32-bit depth). thanks, toomas >=20 > On Fri, Dec 04, 2020 at 11:24:25AM +0200, Toomas Soome wrote: >> I have been working on proper framebuffer support on FreeBSD loader = and there is the current state: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D27420 = <https://reviews.freebsd.org/D27420>; >>=20 >> All feedback is welcome, and especially if you can spare some time = for testing:) >>=20 >> thanks, >> toomas >> _______________________________________________ >> freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list >> https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current >> To unsubscribe, send any mail to = "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
