Hey Benny!

BP> grub is grub :)

+1

BP> you need to tell x11 to do the same

That has nothing to do with the booting process, and besides that is and was working no matter what boot loader I use. I was hoping to avoid efi boots but it looks like I am doomed if I want 4k boot menus and the such. It's the penguins that really tell the tale.

BP> that will create a new xorg.conf, no ?

How does that help the booting process, especially considering 16 4k efifb penguins? Speaking of which I calculate exactly 30 possible penguins on a 4k monitor assuming they are 128 pixels wide which matches with my observation of the current 16 boot penguins I am seeing on bootup ( 3840/128 = 30 ). Now all I want is a sun36 consolefont for it and my new desktop will truly be awesome. One thing is for sure; a fullscreen console based mplayer (-vo fbdev2) on a 4k monitor looks really, really good. It can play x264 encoded files .. still no x265 support. So far that hasn't mattered but I've heard of a few digital cameras that output x265 and that might be more significant to them.

For the record, 16 boot penguins will also fit in a 1080p (1920 x 1080) monitor with room for 4 more (20 total). The math is a bit different since it looks like 96 pixels wide penguins are deployed at that resolution ( 1920/96 = 20 ). If 720p uses the same width then it can only display 7. Assuming 48 pixel width then only 15 penguins are possible for display purposes. 'Tis sad but true. Oh well ... 1080p is noticeably sharper than 720p on 7" monitors.

Life is good,
Maurice
