[1] video= works with Grub v0.97.x. Whether same works similarly with other bootloaders I have tested only so far as to know it does have the desired impact with Grub2 at least in certain environments. It may be that Grub2's gfxmode as same or similar impact and may be substituted to reach the same desired result.
gfxmode defines graphic mode that grub2 gfxterm driver is using. Unless changed by gfxpayload, this mode will also be left unchanged and "inherited" by kernel. But this will not affect kernel decision, how it selects the "best" mode to use. OTOH video= option directly tells kernel driver to (try to) use specified mode.
So you actually need both - gfxmode for bootloader and video= for kernel, even if they are the same, because kernel may well select different mode otherwise.
I would like to restate my question. I would like the system to behave like a standard 1920x1080 system. I would like to be able to connect it to an external monitor with that native resolution.
Normally I expect both kernel KMS drivers and X11 drivers to detect monitor resolution and use it. So if you really have 1920x1080 monitor, I fail to see how you can get twice of this. I do have notebook with this screen resolution and I get it, not anything else. Of course, on relatively small screen even this resolution results in far too tiny text.
Is there any way to make this system behave like it was a standard HDMI system? Or should I try and return it for an exchange to the older model? I did not realize that the support for a 4K system would shrink everything. I guess I missed the obvious. But the Leap distribution DVD also presents an unreadable screen at 4K. The community is usually way ahead of me on these things, so I had assumed it would work, somehow.
Again - how you get 4K on native 1920x1080 screen?
Any thoughts on the second part of the question posed in my original post on the Qualcom Atheros Killer Ethernet adapter? Again, nothing found by the Leap installation DVD.
Am I the only one to try the Alienware 17 R3 laptop?
