[opensuse-factory] Grub2-EFI and GOP Support for UEFI Systems and 13.2
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: insmod efi_gop 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?

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 GOP mode support be added next to Vga mode in the Yast Boot Loader? At the moment most people must add this manually to grub.cfg: insmod efi_gop 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?

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. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

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!

This page is hard to follow - it mixes up manual grub.cfg creation and grub-mkconfig.

What is absolutely unclear from this thread - is grub menu screen corrupted or not. Anyway, author seems to be satisfied with rEFIt and removed grub, so no way to investigate it further. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
