      REPLY: 2:230/0 62a65f68       MSGID: 2:280/464.113 62a666b0       CHRS: UTF-8 4       Hey Benny!               BP>>> grub is grub :)        MK>> +1               MK> no hint with this ?              What hint are you looking for? I already posted about grub's gfxmode and the       kernel's efifb but if more is required I am sure it is doable. I just need to       know what you're looking for.               BP> why keep the booting process fokus ? :=)              Becuase that is where it starts, although it really isn't an issue as far as       linux is concerned. However I always like to see the right thing happening as       soon as the power is switched on. Now that it is working I am content to move       on to better things such as runtime apps. Having said that mplayer is already       working so I can't think of what else might be required as far as 4k monitors       are concerned.               BP> imho vga and mode is needed in kernel boot options              That shouldn't be a problem. Anyhow I've now tested three different monitors       on this setup and they all do the right thing except that a 720p monitor       cannot display 16 penguins given the shortage of pixels. 1080p works great       with room for 4 more (20 total) in it's native resolution. 4k could use a tad       larger consolefont but latarcyrheb-sun32 is readable methinks. It is what I       am seeing as I type this reply.              Life is good,       Maurice              ...
