Adjust startscreen size on systemd boot

[swh]

i use systemd boot. is there a way to set the font size somewhere?
i would like to set the resolution to 1920x1080

under grub I know which file to edit.

If I am not mistaken, you would need to look at console-mode in efi/loader/loader.conf.

console-mode

This option configures the resolution of the console. Takes a number or one of the special values listed below. The following values may be used:

0

Standard UEFI 80x25 mode

1

80x50 mode, not supported by all devices

2

the first non-standard mode provided by the device firmware, if any

auto

Pick a suitable mode automatically using heuristics

max

Pick the highest-numbered available mode

keep

Keep the mode selected by firmware (the default)

see: man loader.conf

Edit /efi/loader/loader.conf and change the value for console-mode

The possible values are:

       console-mode
           This option configures the resolution of the console. Takes a number or one of the special values listed below. The following values may be used:

           0
               Standard UEFI 80x25 mode

           1
               80x50 mode, not supported by all devices

           2

           max
               Pick the highest-numbered available mode

           keep
               Keep the mode selected by firmware (the default)

I would try setting it to max and see if that gets you what you want.

After changing that file, nothing else is needed. You can reboot to test after that.

@dalto @pebcak
thanks a lot.
it’s the loader.conf
i will take a look there.

[swh]
