[SOLVED] tty and boot on low resolution (AMD)

hello,
i have a CPU AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and i set "amdgpu" on mkinitcpio.conf to get hi-res on boot and tty:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/kernel … _KMS_start

but it doesn't work, boot and tty are still on low resolution (seems 640x480).
why?

$ cat /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run.  Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array.  For instance:
#     MODULES=(piix ide_disk reiserfs)
MODULES=(amdgpu snd-aloop)
#MODULES=(i915 hid_apple snd-aloop)


# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image.  This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=()

# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way.  This is useful for config files.
#FILES=()
#FILES=(/usr/lib/firmware/edid/1024x768.bin)

# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file.  The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added.  Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
##   This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
##   No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
#    HOOKS=(base)
#
##   This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
##   work as a sane default
#    HOOKS=(base udev autodetect block filesystems)
#
##   This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
##   No autodetection is done.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block filesystems)
#
##   This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
##   Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems)
#
##   This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block lvm2 filesystems)
#
##   NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
#    usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck)

# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
#COMPRESSION="lz4"

# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor
#COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=()

Which boot loader are you using?

Re: [SOLVED] tty and boot on low resolution (AMD)

i have tried to add this on /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024x32
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB/T … resolution

but nothing changes.

btw, i'm using a very old (2005?) vga monitor 4:3:

$ xrandr 
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 16384 x 16384
HDMI-A-0 disconnected primary (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-A-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DisplayPort-0 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 256mm x 192mm
   1024x768      60.00 +
   1920x1080     60.00  
   1600x1200     60.00  
   1680x1050     59.95  
   1400x1050     59.98  
   1600x900      60.00  
   1280x1024     60.02* 
   1440x900      59.89  
   1280x960      60.00  
   1366x768      59.79  
   1280x720      60.00  
   800x600       60.32  
   640x480       59.94

max resolution is 1280x1024. if i set 1920x1080 video is weird.

Re: [SOLVED] tty and boot on low resolution (AMD)

Have you tried the vga= kernel command line parameter? The GRUB wiki page claims it's "deprecated" [sic] but I think it still works — the parameter is listed in https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ … eters.html.

Another possibility is https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/kernel … cing_modes.

Are you infected with Wetiko?
