http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1187518 Bug ID: 1187518 Summary: boot messages are too tiny on hi res laptop screen Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel Assignee: kernel-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: erbenton@comcast.net QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 850400 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=850400&action=edit grub.cfg and config-5.12.10-1-default The kernel boot messages, the ones that you see scrolling by, during boot are far far too small to read. This is only true on laptops with high resolution screens. If you boot to runlevel 3 for example its near impossible to do anything meaningful because you just can not read the screen. There needs to be a setting to use a larger font on screens such as this (if they can make the bios easily readable I'm sure it can be done in the kernel - no?): Manufacturer: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. Product Name: ZenBook UX535LI_UX535LI Display Res: 3840x2160 kernel: (i tried several doesn't matter) l5.12.10-1-default Intel and NVidia GPU's come standard 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation CometLake-H GT2 [UHD Graphics] (rev 05) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU117M [GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Mobile] (rev a1) NVidia driver 460.84 Intel: i915 (I guess) Looking through grub.cfg i find; set gfxmode=1280x1024 load_video insmod gfxterm set gfxpayload=keep not all in this order or together, but i shall attach my grub.cfg and also /boot/config-5.12.10-1-default Is there any other info I can provide? I would even allow a kernel developer to remote in to my laptop if it would help. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
