How to get UEFI console resolution on a non-UEFI boot device

[Aryeh Friedman]

I really like the resolution settings on the UEFI console but my machine
doesn't support UEFI. How can I get the same resolution on this machine?

Some things I have already tried/other notes:

* I have a nVidia card using x11/nvidia-driver-390 (card not supported on
newer drivers)
* There is no on board video on the MB
* I have played with the settings suggested in vt(4), sc(4) and
vidcontrol(1)

Here is my current /boot/loader.conf:

kern.vt.fb.modes="3840x2160"
kern.vty=vt
nvidia-modeset_load="YES"
linux_load="YES"
fuse_load="YES"

I am shocked, absolutely shocked. What are you a lazy cocksucker?

Either:

1) Rewrite the code

2) Buy better equipment

3) STFU

Your choice :)

And you call me a troll ;-).... if you read the question it is not a bug
just a question about how to do something (if it turns out that there is
some way to improve the support for something like this I will likely do
item 1) also unlike you I actually did some homework before complaining and
actually tried to correct the issue before asking about it.... where is you
complain endless about the same topic/issue and refuse to lift a finger to
do anything to help the situation except make a huge stink

I need to amend my previous assessment of you. Not only are you an
asshole, but you are also a hypocrite.

Well if that is/was true I am great company since you are doing the very
thing you (falsely for reasons explained before) accuse me of doing. As
with most such people you are very free to say it about other people (even
when it is not true) but refuse to see it in yourself.

Since the next one was recorded at the border of the introduction of
MIDI, even the Prophet 5 shown in the video originally came without
MIDI, laugh about the vision people had before the computer
revolution and listen to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgbgUrp1a70 .

Nowadays, we could do way better, but nowadays even electric guitars
could easily be used to play synth without latency. My MIDIfied guitars
https://i.imgur.com/6TDYQHm.jpg are seldom used as MIDI controllers.
Once the vision becomes reality, it also becomes uninteresting almost
all of the times.

Indeed, I missed the subject, but IIUC the latest threads on this
list are related to self-expression and entertainment + to ignore the
subjects completely.

I hope I could contribute to this.

Sorry for this "middle post". This is kinda long already. Here is a
really wild guess:

How about this in loader.conf:

kern.vt.fb.default_mode="3840x2160"

in place of the fb.modes spec you have. I think kern.vt.fb.modes has to
name a specific device, e.g. kern.vt.fb.modes.VGA-1=""3840x2160".

Thanks for posting the stuff below. I gave it a good hard look, but came
up empty for ideas. Maybe somebody else?

No go I tried all the obvious devices listed in /dev and all resolutions
between 640x480 and the one listed above and no change in resolution with
any of the combos

[Karl L. Dunn]

... <snip> ...

I think the name part of the loader tunable is supposed to be the
"connector" name, not a name from /dev. I could not figure out what to
use, so that's why I thought kern.vt.fb.default_mode would work.

I thrashed around with this problem for a while on my own machine:

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 4300 @ 1.80GHz (1800.55-MHz

TSC: P-state invariant, performance statistics

vgapci0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x13113842 chip=0x0a6510de
rev=0xa2 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
device = 'GT218 [GeForce 210]'

class = display
subclass = VGA

for which I had to use the -340 NVIDIA driver.

To make Xorg work right, I had to create this:

/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "GTX-nnnn"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce GTX nnnn"
EndSection

No matter what I do, I am in the same place you are. Supposedly the
functions that are in the -390 module nvidia-modeset.ko are in -340's
nvidia.ko, but none of the stuff about modesetting in vt(4) works.

The -340 driver apparently does not create or have the functions of
nvidia-modeset.ko. So the loader tunable

kern.vt.fb.default_mode="<X>x<Y>"

will not (again: apparently) do anything on my machine.

The vt(4) man pages have a discouraging note about modesetting not being
supported unless you have a KMS video driver. AFAIK only Intel, AMD,
and Radeon are in that category. I think vt(4) means xxxkms.ko and
drm.ko, not some other driver that has its own mode setting scheme. I
might be wrong about that. I'm wrong about a lot of things -- just ask
my wife of 53 years: she's a physics PhD, so she ought to know.

It looks as if the 460.56 driver:

https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/170806/en-us

will support your card. You might be able to force the nvidia-driver
port to make and install that one. I don't have much hope for it fixing
your problem, though.

- - - -

There is a lot more hope for Intel cards/embedded GPUs. I have three
other machines that have flavors of Intel GPUs "built-in", and they work
fine, both with console resolution control and Xorg. The kms module
will pull in drm module(s), and it is apparently crucial that they load
from rc.conf, not loader.conf!! I built the drm package needed (to get
the kms and drm for all three kinds) from the port in
/usr/ports/graphics rather than do a pkg add, per FreeBSD
recommendation: the pre-built package often won't fit the kernel,
causing a crash at boot time, even though it's made for the right major
release.

So if you have a card that has some kind of AMD or Radeon or Intel GPU
you might be good. I don't have one; if I did I would outright give it
to you to see what happens! Maybe you can borrow one to test.

I apologize for such a long story.
