Can RefindPlus Load External Drivers like rEFInd Does?

[1457384613gh]

It shows that rEFInd can load [EFI network driver]-s and [EFI video driver]-s.
How about RefindPlus?
efi_video.zip
[CsmVideoDxe.efi] is from Clover; [BiosVideo.efi] is from OpenCore.
Could RefindPlus load one of them?
At least one of them is adapted from [IntelGopDriver.efi].

How to make it support more UEFI resolutions?
Could RefindPlus load an external [IntelGopDriver.efi]?

[startergo]

Put it into the drivers folder and reboot.

@1457384613gh ... Please add the BiosVideo.efi file from OpenCore (or the other one from Clover) to your drivers folder and confirm whether you get the resolution you are looking for with the attached build (x288).
X288-BOOTx64.zip

Thanks

[1457384613gh]

I haven't tried, yet.
Have you adapted one for loading those EFI_Video_Driver ?

[dakanji]

Please add the driver, test with the attached RefindPlus build and report back as was written.
The drivers would not have worked before due to driver priority issues which the build attempts to resolve.

I finally find that DUET can help resolutions of all, such as Metro Windows Boot Manager, Grub2 with theme, rEFInd and so on.

BiosVideoDXE.efi still cannot help at least resolutions of Metro Windows Boot Manager and Grub2 with theme.

I will try later.

Try again and press the 'ESC' key after it loads.

Above all, X288 runs without mouse, so I have to select an entry by using keyboard.
What you want to know is that the keyboard cannot work after pressing ESC so it cannot select any entries so I have to press power to restart.

Refer to the ReadMe of this repo on how to enable mouse in RefindPlus

the keyboard cannot work after pressing ESC so it cannot select any entries so I have to press power to restart.

I noticed that it hung. Will look at that one separately.

Yeah. Doesn't work indeed.
Not sure whether it is because the BIosVideo driver seems to be UGA related and your GPU is GOP based.
Took a quick look at the source and everything there is about UGA. Try to enable pass_uga_through as well as provide_console_gop

[dakanji]

You can give X289 a try.
X289-BOOTx64.zip

The zip package includes a generic BiosVideo driver file as the one from OpenCore is tied to that project.
Try the ESC key if not initially working to be sure the driver is loaded.

Thanks

DUET can help more.
I think you can adapt DUET from theirs.
https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/CloverBootloader/tree/master/CloverEFI/BootSector
https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/tree/master/Legacy/BootSector

If DUET, all drivers of Legacy_BIOS can be used.

I am using DUET from Clover.
MBR=>PBR=>boot=>CLOVERX64.efi (refind_x64.efi renamed)
If you make your DUET, you can set
MBR=>PBR=>boot=>bootx64.efi
or
MBR=>PBR=>boot=>refindplus.efi

[dakanji]

I see. Best stick with Duet or OpenDuet as there is no plan to add booting RefindPlus via legacy bootcode (unless someone else does it) at this time.

Thanks
