If the resolution in the BIOS menu is also wrong and offset, it sounds like an MSI bug of sorts - "Try disabling CSM" in your UEFI settings: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/low-resolution-boot-uefi-bios.3530375/ https://superuser.com/questions/1209012/uefi-and-therefore-linux-console-isnt-displayed-at-native-resolution I have no idea why CSM affects the video resolution of the firmware, but it may have to do with how much space is available on the NOR flash chip where the UEFI firmware is stored. Enabling CSM may be eating up some/more resources, leaving less to initialise and run the graphics capability of the MoBo. :-/ > > I suspect I'm going to have to > > reinitialise the CMOS ram, which I really don't want to do, though > > Michael doesn't think that's the problem. We'll see. I wasn't aware this display issue is present *before* the OS has even loaded. This is not a linux issue and the linux driver itself does not seem able to correct it. OK, in the first instance disable the CMS in the UEFI settings and reboot. Some boards do not lose some of their cached settings when you simply shutdown. Remove the power cable, depress and hold the power button for 10-20 seconds. Any capacitors will discharge. Reconnect the power and boot normally. If the above gymnastics do not fix it, then you'll have to try resetting the MoBo. Make a note of any changed settings and check the CSM option is left disabled. > Ahhhhh.
