i hoped that qemu will pull it off, and i overestimated the quality of linux of those days

no

it's emulator which has enough quirks implemented to make X happy

besides, the kernel intensely complains about some hwclock bug

Hi, can I use UEFI's GOP linear framebuffer to display my laptop's in-built screen to the hdmi monitor?
<Ermine>
uefi mirrors outputs iirc
<ddevault>
not necessarily
<ddevault>
odds are the answer is just no
<ddevault>
my solution to the same problem was to port to ARM and write a simple GPU driver for rpi4
<ddevault>
you can get an fb out of HDMI on the rpi4 in a couple hundred lines of code
<osdev199>
I have my hdmi monitor connected to the laptop. Nothing is getting displayed on it.
<ddevault>
IHD or so is much harder
<ddevault>
yeah, that's what I'd expect IME
<Ermine>
ihd?
<ddevault>
Intel HD (graphics)
<ddevault>
i.e. the GPU I would presume osdev199 is working with
<ddevault>
unfortunately you do need to write a fairly complex GPU driver to get multiheaf
<ddevault>
multiheaf*
<ddevault>
head -_-
<osdev199>
I read on reddit that one can write a vga driver for the hdmi output
<osdev199>
From online search, I think that both the in-built and hdmi port are connected to my integrated graphics card (Intel Iris Xe)
<ddevault>
that's probably not true
<ddevault>
(I did similar research and my conclusion was that you have to write an IHD graphics driver and that's a big challenge)
<ddevault>
what's your use-case?
<osdev199>
readability. Laptop's screen size is small. My large hdmi monitor just makes it easier for my eyes to work on my OS :p
<ddevault>
I see
<ddevault>
well, you could probably get a framebuffer out of HDMI via GOP using a desktop GPU
<nikolar>
you could use a larger font for the gop
<ddevault>
there might be some BIOS tunables for the laptop display vs HDMI
<ddevault>
but yeah, the answer is that it's hard
<ddevault>
porting your OS to ARM and writing a driver for its GPU is probably less than a tenth of the work needed to get HDMI output via IHD graphics on a laptop
<ddevault>
or opening up your laptop and running the internal display ribbon cable into a converter board :)
<osdev199>
I don't know. I just wanted a simple linear framebuffer like solution :)
<ddevault>
no such luck, I'm afraid
<osdev199>

<Ermine>
osdev is hard
<ddevault>
if you want a really stupid idea you could boot to linux, have it set up a framebuffer, then kexec into your kernel :^)
<Ermine>
graphics are even harder
<Ermine>
ddevault: you've just invented linux the bootloader

a missing antenym etc is called a semantic gap

Also yes, one needs to choose vodka (and any other alcohol) carefully. Counterfeit vodka can be deadly
