One of my vbox gentoo vms, on boot, comes up on the grub screen |
2 |
in a nice hi-res console. Very early in the boot procedure that |
3 |
hi-res console collapses into a standard console resoltion and stays |
4 |
there from then on. |
5 |
|
6 |
It is possible to set things so that one maintains a hi-res console |
7 |
all the time... Correct? |
8 |
|
9 |
If so, I'd like to know what needs to be set. I have followed up |
10 |
reading about this subject in gentoo documents, one source says you cannot |
11 |
make any driver selections in kernel setup at: |
12 |
|
13 |
Device drivers -> |
14 |
Graphics support -> |
15 |
Framebuffer Devices -> |
16 |
Make no selections of drivers here |
17 |
|
18 |
|
19 |
There are choices within the address above that look like the kind |
20 |
of thing you'd check but the guide I was reading said any choices |
21 |
there would block KMS which could get settings at:. |
22 |
|
23 |
Device drivers -> |
24 |
Graphics support -> |
25 |
Console display driver support ---> |
26 |
Frame buffer console sup. is default selected an |
27 |
[*]Frame Buffer console sup is default selected |
28 |
cannot be changed (on kernel-4.9.10) |
29 |
ditto for: |
30 |
[*]map the conosle tor primary disp device |
31 |
|
32 |
There are several more there but these two may be |
33 |
the place: |
34 |
[]initial number of console screen columns |
35 |
[]initial number of console screen rows |
36 |
|
37 |
There isn't much else there... things like scrollback |
38 |
size [...] and initil console size |
39 |
|
40 |
So are these settings what control KMS console sizing? |
41 |
|
42 |
For example if you weree to set something like 140 and 60 for columns |
43 |
and rows... would then have a console that size |
44 |
|
45 |
Or is it the settings in /etc/defalt/grub where their are a couple of |
46 |
options about geometry? |
47 |
|
48 |
Both maybe? |
