State of play on HEAD: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/boot/efi/loader/arch/amd64/framebuffer.c?view=log And on 10.3.0 (RELEASE), just prior to release, looks like. https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/release/10.3.0/sys/boot/efi/loader/arch/amd64/framebuffer.c?view=log where r287299 from above, plus 6 others, was MFC'd to 10.3 as r295872: ======= Revision 295872 - (view) (download) (annotate) - [select for diffs] Modified Mon Feb 22 00:49:35 2016 UTC (18 months, 3 weeks ago) by marius Original Path: stable/10/sys/boot/efi/loader/arch/amd64/framebuffer.c File length: 15247 byte(s) Diff to previous 294981 MFC: r287299 [1] Add a gop command to help diagnose VT efifb problems. The gop command has the following sub-commands: list - list all possible modes (paged) get - return the current mode set <mode> - set the current mode to <mode> MFC: r287317, r287422, r287475, r287489, r287538 [2] Add support for the UGA draw protocol. This includes adding a command called 'uga' to show whether UGA is implemented by the firmware and what the settings are. It also includes filling the efi_fb structure from the UGA information when GOP isn't implemented by the firmware. PR: 207313 [1], 202730 [2] Approved by: re (gjb) ======= Still it's a bit sad that these commands haven't made it into loader(8). cheers, Ian
