Hi Christian, Use console command and FB is enabled, then input command as below: IPXE>console --x 800 --y 600 --depth 16 --keep The resolution is valid, and change from 1024x768 to 800x600 at once in IPXE environment. But the resolution is restored to 1024X768 by kernel boot later, how to keep 800x600 after kernel boot? To keep the resolution as IPXE environment, is there other parameters for the "console" command?
By the way, if use the video= kernel cmdline option, what's the kernel cmdline parameters? Could you list the example? Thank you very much! -----邮件原件----- 发件人: Christian Nilsson [mailto:[email protected]] 发送时间: 2017年7月5日 18:51 收件人: dangdehua <[email protected]> 抄送: [email protected]; Zhangzhaobin <[email protected]>; Michael Brown <[email protected]> 主题: Re: [ipxe-devel] VGA resolution issue ---IPXE.EFI PXE boot On Wed, Jul 5, 2017 at 12:07 PM, Michael Brown <[email protected]> wrote: > On 05/07/17 10:27, dangdehua wrote: >> >> Recently came across this problem: the resolution is not valid in OS >> when I set “vga=0x314” in kernel cmdline with ipxe.efi boot. >> >> In EFI BIOS platform, Although I set “vga=0x314” in kernel cmdline, >> the actual resolution is 0x317(1024*768) when boot in OS. >> >> Is there any method/command to set VGA resolution?

Another option is to use the video= kernel cmdline option instead with uvesa_fb or similar. /Christian _______________________________________________ ipxe-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ipxe.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/ipxe-devel
