Description

It would be nice to have the graphics mode configured in the configuration database and have the system pick the closest mode to the "requested mode" the hardware can support on startup.

Having a generic way of setting a graphics mode would be nice too: setMode(1024, 768, 16) is much easier than setMode(0x117). A Boolean return from such a function can indicate success or failure - this isn't hard.

History

  • % Done changed from 0 to 80

The generic mode switch is now implemented, just needs to be integrated with the configuration database now.

Updated by Eduard Burtescu about 1 year ago

  • % Done changed from 80 to 90

Splash now sets a mode from the database, only support for choosing the closest mode in case the given one isn't available is missing.

Postponing "closest match" algorithm until after feedback from Milestone 1. Still working through the algorithm.
