Laszlo,
        Where do you get the video resolution list? I prefer to be more popular 
to cover most common resolutions we see.

Thanks
Elvin

Subject: [edk2] [PATCH 1/1] MdeModulePkg: TerminalDxe: add other text 
resolutions

When the console output is multiplexed to several devices by ConSplitterDxe, 
then ConSplitterDxe builds an intersection of text modes supported by all 
console output devices.

Two notable output devices are provided by:
(1) MdeModulePkg/Universal/Console/GraphicsConsoleDxe,
(2) MdeModulePkg/Universal/Console/TerminalDxe.

GraphicsConsoleDxe supports four modes at most -- see
InitializeGraphicsConsoleTextMode():

(1a) 80x25 (required by the UEFI spec as mode 0),
(1b) 80x50 (not necessarily supported, but if it is, then the UEFI spec
     requires the driver to provide it as mode 1),
(1c) 100x31 (corresponding to graphics resolution 800x600, which the UEFI
     spec requires from all plug-in graphics devices),
(1d) "full screen" resolution, derived form the underlying GOP's
     horizontal and vertical resolutions with division by EFI_GLYPH_WIDTH
     (8) and EFI_GLYPH_HEIGHT (19), respectively.

The automatic "full screen resolution" makes GraphicsConsoleDxe's character 
console very flexible. However, TerminalDxe (which runs on serial ports) only 
provides the following fixed resolutions -- see
InitializeTerminalConsoleTextMode():

(2a) 80x25 (required by the UEFI spec as mode 0),
(2b) 80x50 (since the character resolution of a serial device cannot be
    interrogated easily, this is added unconditionally as mode 1)
(2c) modes 2 and above come from "mTerminalConsoleModeData". This table
     currently only contains one mode, 100x31.

When ConSplitterDxe combines (1) and (2), multiplexing console output to both 
video output and serial terminal, the list of commonly supported text modes 
(ie. the "intersection") comprises:

(3a) 80x25, unconditionally, from (1a) and (2a),
(3b) 80x50, if the graphics console provides at least 640x950 pixel
     resolution, from (1b) and (2b)
(3c) 100x31, if the graphics device is a plug-in one (because in that case
     800x600 is a mandated pixel resolution), from (1c) and (2c).

Unfortunately, the "full screen resolution" (1d) of the GOP-based text console 
is not available in general.

Mitigate this problem by extending "mTerminalConsoleModeData" with a handful of 
text resolutions that are derived from widespread maximal pixel resolutions. 
This way TerminalDxe won't cause ConSplitterDxe to filter out the most frequent 
(1d) values from the intersection, and eg. the MODE command in the UEFI shell 
will offer the "best" (ie. full screen) resolution too.
