Don't know. I had bitmap logo when I had two screens and console on higher resolution (HD). When I disconnected one of the screens and console resolution dropped to 1280x1024, then logo became ASCII.So, the FreeBSD banner is bitmap, but the logo is still ASCII art?
Well, this is RC3 (of course installed the new loader in efi) and the "funny" thing is that it isn't textmode, just this red daemon-head logo is still in ASCII arti had the same think with BETA3, upgrading to RC2 and performing a bootloader upgrade gave me the new loader with the bitmpa logo
hw.vga.textmode="0"
vbe_max_resolution="800x600" # Console resolution
hw.vga.textmode
to "1" will show the ASCII art. loader_logo
, you have a choice between; orbbw, orb, fbsdbw, beastiebw, beastie, none (only "orb" currently has a snazzy graphics logo)loader_logo
to '<name>' (the same name you used for the gfx-* file without the gfx-
prefix).Like I said I had the exact thing: FreeBSD in bitmap while the logo was in asciiWell, this is RC3 (of course installed the new loader in efi) and the "funny" thing is that it isn't textmode, just this red daemon-head logo is still in ASCII art
is that the formervbe_max_resolution="800x600" # Console resolution
efi_max_resolution="XxY" # (or e.g. "720p") Console resolution
efi_max_resolution
and vbe_max_resolution
, if I understood things correctly the first (efi_*
is for UEFI booting, the vbe_*
setting is for CSM (aka BIOS) boot. And it looks like you need at least 1024x768 for the graphical 'orb' logo to show up.This is UEFI boot, soLooking further, there are two settings,efi_max_resolution
andvbe_max_resolution
, if I understood things correctly the first (efi_*
is for UEFI booting, thevbe_*
setting is for CSM (aka BIOS) boot. And it looks like you need at least 1024x768 for the graphical 'orb' logo to show up.
screen.textmode
and the like are ignored anyways.loader.efi
on my desktop, it already uses some higher resolution without any configuration (and shows the logo as a bitmap as well). For this notebook, I added efi_max_resolution="1366x768"
, which is its native display resolution, still the loader used 1024x768 instead, but now showed the logo. A side effect is that a larger font is now used on the console, this also persists after loading radeonkms.ko
which finally switches to the correct 1366x768 resolution. screen.font
Set font size for framebuffer mode. Default font size is
selected based on screen resolution, to achieve terminal
dimensions 80x24.
Looking into my crystal ball, I see us soon enjoy another greeter image every dayYou can change the logo by settingloader_logo
, you have a choice between; orbbw, orb, fbsdbw, beastiebw, beastie, none (only "orb" currently has a snazzy graphics logo)
You can also add your own logo, look in /boot/lua/. Check the gfx-*.lua files. You can add your own by adding your own custom gfx-<name>.lua file, which can then be selected by settingloader_logo
to '<name>' (the same name you used for the gfx-* file without thegfx-
prefix).
screen.textmode="0"
