Bug 202947

Because 4K is very new and not mainstream yet real-world hardware has not converged on standard resolutions like FHD yet.

I have a QHD+ 3 200 x 1 800 laptop

It's customarily plugged into a UHD 3840 x 2160 screen (via HDMI)

In that configuration, the kernel does not choose the correct mirroring setup on boot. It will choose a mode, where the external screen, only mirrors the top of the internal screen (so the bottom of the internal screen is not displayed).

This is very annoying because I basically only need the console to debug boot problems, in rescue mode the text size on the internal screen is too small to be comfortable (without manual adjustment) and the external screen only works for debugging as long as the console does not enter the hidden non mirrored screen section.
