   Hey Benny!   
      
    BP> grub is grub :)

    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,
