 Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2025 2:34 pm Post subject: Resolution on ttyX is way to small |
 |
|
I bought a new Notebook. A Lenovo Thinkpad E16. I installed Gentoo on a LUKS encrypted Harddrive, without systemd and with genkernel and grub2. GRUB2 use 2560x1600 (like it should be), then linux starts. The first text is in 2560x1600: | Code: | >Gentoo GNU/Linux wird gebootet
Linux 6.12.16-gentoo-x86_64 wird geladen...
Initiale Ramdisk wird geladen... |
And then he switched to a smaller resolution: | Code: | >> Using the following decryption command: cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/nvme0n1p2 r
oot
Enter passphrase for /dev/nvme0n1p2: |
My /etc/default/grub contains: | Code: | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="crypt_root=/dev/nvme0n1p2 real_root=/dev/VG-Encrypted-Gentoo/LVroot rootfstype=ext4 dolvm quiet splash"
GRUB_GFXMODE=2560x1600
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep |
I'll think my kernel is compiled with the right framebuffer options, i used https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Framebuffer - so here is my "dmesg | grep -i fb": | Code: | [ 2.077105] fbcon: amdgpudrmfb (fb0) is primary device
[ 2.077111] fbcon: Deferring console take-over
[ 2.077116] amdgpu 0000:04:00.0: [drm] fb0: amdgpudrmfb frame buffer device |
and "dmesg | grep -i fram": | Code: | [ 0.249047] signal: max sigframe size: 3376
[ 2.077116] amdgpu 0000:04:00.0: [drm] fb0: amdgpudrmfb frame buffer device
[ 2.785320] r8169 0000:01:00.0 eth0: jumbo features [frames: 9194 bytes, tx checksumming: ko]
[ 4.147931] Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 160x50 |
Can someone tell me what i did wrong? |

I've edit my /etc/default/grub to: | Code: | | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="crypt_root=/dev/nvme0n1p2 real_root=/dev/VG-Encrypted-Gentoo/LVroot fbcon=font:TER16x32 rootfstype=ext4 dolvm quiet splash" |
and did a "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg". "xdpyinfo" and "xrandr" doesnt work on tty$, i've tried the tool fbset but the error when i start that is | Code: | | open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory |
dmesg WtF? |

Just to make sure because from the initial question and the replies I have the idea that the OP is meaning something different:
1: the OP expects the display to have 2560x1600 but he ends up with 1920x1080 (or an other resolution with less pixels)
2: he has his demanded 2560x1600 and the text is too small to read
I understand it is issue 1.

It looks like it's a different resolution, but it also could be a bigger font size.
Currently i am confused about the /dev/fb0 error, because dmesg told me the amdgpu fb is loaded but /dev/fb does not exist... |

This is a Useless Use of Cat. | pietinger wrote: | | Have you enabled CONFIG_FB_DEVICE in your kernel .config? |

It is |
No, it is not. The question is whether it is enabled, meaning that it should be =y or in some cases =m. Your output shows it is not enabled. |
