Hey Benny!

 BP> grub is grub :)

+1

 BP> you need to tell x11 to do the same

That has nothing to do with the booting process, and besides that is and was working no matter what boot loader I use.  I was hoping to avoid efi boots but it looks like I am doomed if I want 4k boot menus and the such.  It's the penguins that really tell the tale.

 BP> that will create a new xorg.conf, no ?

How does that help the booting process, especially considering 16 4k efifb penguins?  Speaking of which I calculate exactly 30 possible penguins on a 4k monitor assuming they are 128 pixels wide which matches with my observation of the current 16 boot penguins I am seeing on bootup ( 3840/128 = 30 ).  Now all I want is a sun36 consolefont for it and my new desktop will truly be awesome.  One thing is for sure; a fullscreen console based mplayer (-vo fbdev2) on a 4k monitor looks really, really good.  It can play x264 encoded files .. still no x265 support.  So far that hasn't mattered but I've heard of a few digital cameras that output x265 and that might be more significant to them.

For the record, 16 boot penguins will also fit in a 1080p (1920 x 1080) monitor with room for 4 more (20 total).  The math is a bit different since it looks like 96 pixels wide penguins are deployed at that resolution ( 1920/96 = 20 ).  If 720p uses the same width then it can only display 7.  Assuming 48 pixel width then only 15 penguins are possible for display purposes.  `Tis sad but true.  Oh well ... 1080p is noticeably sharper than 720p on 7" monitors.

Life is good,
Maurice
