    bam80 - 2024-01-31

    I have following options:

    textmode 1024
    resolution 0
    

    In graphic mode, that works correctly and I have native 1920x1080 resolution for my display.
    But if I load something in text mode from rEFInd (UEFI shell, Grub) - it switches back to ugly 800x600 which probably corresponds to what I have in my UEFI Bios setup.
    If I boot UEFI Grub directly, I don't have such problem.

    Also I tried resolution 3 (1024x768) and it applies to both graphic/text modes correctly.
    But I need my native resolution for text mode, for sure.

    Please help me to debug this problem.

    I tried resolution 3

    @bam80 ... Why not resolution 1920 1080, set rEFInd to use your native rez, or resolution max, set rEFInd to select whatever the maximum available rez is?

      Tried, has no result.

    While it could be that your native rez is not supported, Max should pick whatever is the highest. So there should be some sort of result ... as in not 800 x 600.

    My native resolution is supported, as I see it in Grub if it loaded first and rEFInd graphic mode.
    It's just rEFInd text mode screwed up for some reason.

    Try RefindPlus as explained here to see if you get a different outcome: https://sourceforge.net/p/refind/discussion/general/thread/4207bf3dab/#f796.

    RefindPlus defaults to the maximum available rez, so you can just comment out the resolution option for this.

    Thank you, I will when I get a chance.

    Hopefully, the author of the original will respond too.
