Hello List mates,

Now that new laptops and motherboards have switched to UEFI it is essential that GOP should be supported. Does any one know that Grub2-EFI for openSUSE 13.2 will add GOP support in the Yast Boot Loader?

At the moment most people must add this manually to grub.cfg:

Please show your grub.cfg as generated by system (before your changes).

...

insmod efi_gop

it already does it by default

if [ x\$feature_all_video_module = xy ]; then insmod all_video else insmod efi_gop insmod efi_uga ...

...

insmod efi_uga insmod font

if loadfont ${prefix}/unicode.pf2 then insmod gfxterm set gfxmode=auto set gfxpayload=keep terminal_output gfxterm fi

Any thoughts?

If you explain your problem in some more details ... efi_gop is already loaded by default.

This doesn't apply to me as I know that GOP is included in the grub.cfg. It was a recommendation from the Archlinux wiki website. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB2#Advanced_configuration The openSUSE user on the forum had a problem booting his Toshiba with a Radeon 7670M card with Grub2-EFI. So he used rEFind bootloader manager to boot 13.1 to resolve the scattered image by enabling GOP. I think this could have been resolved with the Yast2 Boot Loader. His laptop: Toshiba Satellite L845-SP4105LA - CPU: Core i7 i7-3632QM - AMD Radeon HD7670M 1GB - Chipset Mobile Intel HM76 Express - 14" 1366 x 768 - Dual boot, EFI mode. Windows 8.1 x64 - 1TB Disk, ALL FORMATED, no recovery nor OEM partitions.. Please see: http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/496447-7670m-and-ATI-drivers-cause... -- Cheers!
