Hi, A while ago I did a blogpost about not having the native GPU drivers in the initrd: https://hansdegoede.dreamwidth.org/28291.html
With the Fedora /boot partition size increase there has been renewed interest in this and as a result I got an interesting comment on the blog post pointing out that there are EFI protocols to get EDID info for the monitor (presumably for the one the GOP has lit up). It would be useful to see if we can hook this up so that the simpledrm device can report the physical dimensions of the screen and the boot splash does not need to guess the DPI and thus does not need to guess whether to do hiDPI scaling or not. The comment is here: https://hansdegoede.dreamwidth.org/28291.html?thread=14467#cmt14467 and it points to: https://uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/2_-_AMD_UEFI_Plugfest_EDID_Spring2012.pdf https://uefi.org/specs/UEFI/2.9_A/12_Protocols_Console_Support.html Unfortunately I do not have time to work on this myself, hence this email in the hope that someone else can pick this idea up. Regards, Hans
