   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
