vbeinfo is built on legacy BIOS only; generic platform-independent replacement is videoinfo. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Then it is a documentation bug. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlo9PUcACgkQtTMYHG2NR9X3HACgl5cj35TsJtVjKyMcfoCgIjSg +q0AnirSjWNlihEJJXfUq5oLv0JvdlwA =hFyd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

That is not the meaning one would expect from the fresh UEFI/GPT installations of TW, 15.0 and 42.3 with /etc/default/grub comments as follows: "# The resolution used on graphical terminal # note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE # you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'" For the web doc as Carlos suggested was in error, I filed a bug: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1074026 -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
