      REPLY: 2:230/0 62a473cd       MSGID: 2:280/464.113 62a4db13       CHRS: UTF-8 4       Hey Benny!               BP> grub is grub :)              +1               BP> you need to tell x11 to do the same              That has nothing to do with the booting process, and besides that is and was       working no matter what boot loader I use. I was hoping to avoid efi boots but       it looks like I am doomed if I want 4k boot menus and the such. It's the       penguins that really tell the tale.               BP> that will create a new xorg.conf, no ?              How does that help the booting process, especially considering 16 4k efifb       penguins? Speaking of which I calculate exactly 30 possible penguins on a 4k       monitor assuming they are 128 pixels wide which matches with my observation of       the current 16 boot penguins I am seeing on bootup ( 3840/128 = 30 ). Now all       I want is a sun36 consolefont for it and my new desktop will truly be       awesome. One thing is for sure; a fullscreen console based mplayer (-vo       fbdev2) on a 4k monitor looks really, really good. It can play x264 encoded       files .. still no x265 support. So far that hasn't mattered but I've heard of       a few digital cameras that output x265 and that might be more significant to       them.              For the record, 16 boot penguins will also fit in a 1080p (1920 x 1080)       monitor with room for 4 more (20 total). The math is a bit different since it       looks like 96 pixels wide penguins are deployed at that resolution ( 1920/96 =       20 ). If 720p uses the same width then it can only display 7. Assuming 48       pixel width then only 15 penguins are possible for display purposes. `Tis sad       but true. Oh well ... 1080p is noticeably sharper than 720p on 7" monitors.              Life is good,       Maurice              ...
