I'm about to install Slackware on a Framework 16 (AMD Ryzen 7 w/ Radeon 780M Graphics)
The default framebuffer resolution is rather large so the text is super tiny.
I've tried adding various video=1280x800 and it appears to hold until the UDEV rules take hold, then it goes back to super tiny.
What options can I try?
(I've got the question on the Framework Community site too, but I don't think this is specific to the Framework, but to the UEFI so I figured I'd post here too.)
I'm testing with stable but was planning to upgrade to current right away.
After the install, it's the opposite, all my text is HUGE.
run "setconsolefont" as root and choose a smaller font. Make sure you run it when you are not in X, run it before you start your graphical environment with startx.
Are you using -current or 15.0 stable?
I could not get a display using 15.0 stable with AMD and LUKS/LVM and had to compile 6.6.30 for that.
I got this working with the latest -current using 6.9.0 Kernel. It looks like all of the important parts work. (I posted a neofetch screenshot over on the framework community forums that I posted earlier.

I did, thank you! It's much more usable now.
With Slackware Current, I also have the AMD GPU working with XFCE =D
My Framework 16 laptop is now running Slackware current. =)
