Hi:
You would use GraphicsOutputProtocol->QueryMode to get all the
resolutions at first, these resolutions returned has been supported by both
monitor and video controller, then you can do like GraphicsConsole.c does to
find the highest resolution:
MaxMode = Private->GraphicsOutput->Mode->MaxMode;
for (ModeIndex = 0; ModeIndex < MaxMode; ModeIndex++) {
Status = Private->GraphicsOutput->QueryMode (
Private->GraphicsOutput,
ModeIndex,
&SizeOfInfo,
&Info
);
if (!EFI_ERROR (Status)) {
if ((Info->HorizontalResolution >= HorizontalResolution) &&
(Info->VerticalResolution >= VerticalResolution)) {
HorizontalResolution = Info->HorizontalResolution;
VerticalResolution = Info->VerticalResolution;
ModeNumber = ModeIndex;
}
FreePool (Info);
}
}
What is your purpose? If you want to let BiosVideo driver to set video
mode to highest resolution directly, you could set PcdVideoHorizontalResolution
and PcdVideoVerticalResolution to 0x0 to make BiosVideo to set highest
resolution.
Thanks

Subject: [edk2] Question about BIOS Video Driver
Hi Experts,
In ParseEdidData() in
IntelFrameworkModulePkg\Csm\BiosThunk\VideoDxe\BiosVideo.c, the EDID
information pointed by EdidBuffer is in the format of VBE 3.0 and retrieved by
int 10 4F15. According to the definition of following timing fields, 1280*1024
should be the highest resolution to be supported in this way.
EstablishedTimings[0]:
Bitfields for DPMS established timings 1:
Bit(s) Description
0 720x400 @ 70 Hz (VGA 640x400, IBM)
1 720x400 @ 88 Hz (XGA2)
2 640x480 @ 60 Hz (VGA)
3 640x480 @ 67 Hz (Mac II, Apple)
4 640x480 @ 72 Hz (VESA)
5 640x480 @ 75 Hz (VESA)
6 800x600 @ 56 Hz (VESA)
7 800x600 @ 60 Hz (VESA)

Bitfields for DPMS established timings 2:
Bit(s) Description
0 800x600 @ 72 Hz (VESA)
1 800x600 @ 75 Hz (VESA)
2 832x624 @ 75 Hz (Mac II)
3 1024x768 @ 87 Hz interlaced (8514A)
4 1024x768 @ 60 Hz (VESA)
5 1024x768 @ 70 Hz (VESA)
6 1024x768 @ 75 Hz (VESA)
7 1280x1024 @ 75 Hz (VESA)
Our question is if there is one way to retrieve the information about higher
resolution, if it's supported by video output device?
Thanks,
Hawk.
