The only problem I have is the efifb is working with very low resolution, and that would unusable for my desktop use. It current reports "VT(efifb): resolution 592x448" on a 1280x1024 monitor, but I haven't figured out a way to use the full monitor resolution. Raspbian does work properly, and my RPi 2B running FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE also works properly with the same monitor, but they don't use efifb. -- Carl Johnson carlj@peak.org
