Would be interesting to see what happens, when in EFI mode you switch to the graphics mode with the gop command before booting the kernel....
One of the first things I tried with my integrated IvyBridge Intel GPU. No change with the gop command in UEFI mode. (I set a 1024x768 mode which was what DRMKMS seems to go for on my HW.) I only got a usable console in UEFI mode with this hack: https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2022/04/12/msg028065.html In CSM mode, the modesetting driver works OK except for minor glitches. But, if you try the `wsfb' Xorg driver on top of `intelfb' you get what I can only describe as a 1-line framebuffer (graphics mode). The same thing with a FB test program on the console. The framebuffer looks like a single line of 1024? pixels right at the top of the screen. And, compiling-in some fonts (notably SPLEEN12x24--anything which doesn't seem to be a multiple of 8x8) causes the kernel to reboot right at the start. Haven't had the time to hunt any of these snarks yet... -RVP
