Hi,
Sorry, I misunderstand. You said the monitor and video controller
support both of 1280*1024 and 1920×1080, but ParseEdidData returing EDID does
not report 1920×1080? Do you know the reason? I never see this case before. In
my mind, EDID is the only source for code to know the monitor resolution.
Thanks
Elvin

I think 1920x1080 may not be set successfully and no video may not display,
because monitor does not support it. I do not really try such scenario.

Elvin,
I’m not sure if there is any confusion. Take one example, if the monitor and
video controller support both of 1280*1024 and 1920×1080, EDID information can
only tell us 1280*1024 is supported, but nothing about 1920*1080. So if we want
to force to set this mode, what will happen?
Thanks,
Hawk.

Hi:
When adding a new mode into GOP modes, BiosVideo uses SearchEdidTiming
make a check with EDID and each resolution. ParseEdidData only fills EDID data
for SearchEdidTiming’s use.
if (EdidFound && (ValidEdidTiming.ValidNumber > 0)) {
//
// EDID exist, check whether this mode match with any mode in EDID
//
Timing.HorizontalResolution =
BiosVideoPrivate->VbeModeInformationBlock->XResolution;
Timing.VerticalResolution =
BiosVideoPrivate->VbeModeInformationBlock->YResolution;
if (!SearchEdidTiming (&ValidEdidTiming, &Timing)) {
continue;
}
}

Hi Elvin,
We want to set the highest resolution supported by both of video controller and
monitor during POST. Also I agree with you about the proposed solution as below
to have BiosVideo driver achieve this.
But the key point is the current implementation of BIOS video can only
determine if the following resolution can be supported or not in VBE 3.0
interface. Check ParseEdidData() for detailes.
n 640 * 480
n 720 * 400
n 800 * 600
n 832 * 624
n 1024 *768
n 1280 * 1024
Is there other interface to convey information of higher resolution, if they
are supported by both of video controller and monitor?
Thanks,
Hawk.

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

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)
EstablishedTimings[1]:
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.
