Hello,

I answered the question on the Genode mailing list.
(https://sourceforge.net/p/genode/mailman/message/36060224)

Just in short:

On Genode we have 3 framebuffer options:

fb_drv - using VESA BIOS to initialize the graphic device
fb_boot_drv - reusing a already initialized graphic card (e.g. by UEFI
and Grub2)
intel_fb_drv - native graphic driver for Intel embedded graphic devices

With UEFI boot, only the Intel driver will work for Genode/seL4, if you
have the right hardware.

The fb_drv is not known to work in UEFI mode (but does in BIOS/legacy mode).

The fb_boot_drv component could work with seL4 in UEFI mode (it does
with Genode/NOVA), but unfortunately the information about the
framebuffer location, size, color depth etc. are not propagated through
the seL4 kernel to the roottask (and from there to the fb_boot_drv
component).


Alex.
