From 1facdd58e946c584a3dc1e5be8f2f837b5a7c621 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Laszlo Ersek Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2014 18:40:35 +0100 Subject: MdeModulePkg: TerminalDxe: add other text resolutions (RHEL only) When the console output is multiplexed to several devices by ConSplitterDxe, then ConSplitterDxe builds an intersection of text modes supported by all console output devices. Two notable output devices are provided by: (1) MdeModulePkg/Universal/Console/GraphicsConsoleDxe, (2) MdeModulePkg/Universal/Console/TerminalDxe. GraphicsConsoleDxe supports four modes at most -- see InitializeGraphicsConsoleTextMode() and "mGraphicsConsoleModeData": (1a) 80x25 (required by the UEFI spec as mode 0), (1b) 80x50 (not necessarily supported, but if it is, then the UEFI spec requires the driver to provide it as mode 1), (1c) 100x31 (corresponding to graphics resolution 800x600, which the UEFI spec requires from all plug-in graphics devices), (1d) "full screen" resolution, derived form the underlying GOP's horizontal and vertical resolutions with division by EFI_GLYPH_WIDTH (8) and EFI_GLYPH_HEIGHT (19), respectively. The automatic "full screen resolution" makes GraphicsConsoleDxe's character console very flexible. However, TerminalDxe (which runs on serial ports) only provides the following fixed resolutions -- see InitializeTerminalConsoleTextMode() and "mTerminalConsoleModeData": (2a) 80x25 (required by the UEFI spec as mode 0), (2b) 80x50 (since the character resolution of a serial device cannot be interrogated easily, this is added unconditionally as mode 1), (2c) 100x31 (since the character resolution of a serial device cannot be interrogated easily, this is added unconditionally as mode 2). When ConSplitterDxe combines (1) and (2), multiplexing console output to both video output and serial terminal, the list of commonly supported text modes (ie. the "intersection") comprises: (3a) 80x25, unconditionally, from (1a) and (2a), (3b) 80x50, if the graphics console provides at least 640x950 pixel resolution, from (1b) and (2b) (3c) 100x31, if the graphics device is a plug-in one (because in that case 800x600 is a mandated pixel resolution), from (1c) and (2c). Unfortunately, the "full screen resolution" (1d) of the GOP-based text console is not available in general. Mitigate this problem by extending "mTerminalConsoleModeData" with a handful of text resolutions that are derived from widespread maximal pixel resolutions. This way TerminalDxe won't cause ConSplitterDxe to filter out the most frequent (1d) values from the intersection, and eg. the MODE command in the UEFI shell will offer the "best" (ie. full screen) resolution too. Upstreaming efforts for this patch have been discontinued; it was clear from the off-list thread that consensus was impossible to reach.
