            Bug ID: 251237
           Summary: 12.2 EFI console resolution regression
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.2-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: freebsd-bugs at morgandavis.net

Booting UEFI into 12.1 provided a native resolution text console with hundreds
of columns and dozens of rows of crisp text on a 17" monitor. Perfect for tmux
with lots of panes. I don't recall having to do anything special to get this --
just booting via EFI gave this benefit over legacy BIOS boot.

After upgrading the system from 12.1 to 12.2-RELEASE, the system no longer
boots up with that high resolution text console.  I'm now stuck with the 80x25
fuzzy and giant text display. "vidcontrol -i mode" returns no entries at all so
I can't even force a specific video display mode.

Does 12.2 have new hardware requirements for EFI version/compatibility or video
text console resolutions? Hoping this is a regression that can be fixed.
