Set default resolution for UEFI
-
Is it possible to change the default resolution in the VM templates for the UEFI resolution? It is possible to enter UEFI BIOS if you disable all boot devices, but it is a little cumbersome to adjust when creating new VMs.

@Forza Hi Forza,
To my knowledge it's not possible inside the template but look at the documentation here: https://xcp-ng.org/docs/guests.html#uefi-vm this should help

Thanks!
I tried the ESC option but could never get it to work. I thing the UEFI is set to 0s waiting time for boot options, which makes it tricky to time it.

@Forza From GRUB screen, you can press
cto enter command line mode then typefwsetupto enter UEFI settings. -
I haven't had too much difficulty hitting the esc key in time to get into the EFI config. Click the start VM button, quickly click away from the display area and click in the display area, then toggle the esc key until I see it take effect.
I know I have a couple running at 1920x1080, but that's actually kind of a pain. I only did that to try and get a larger RDP window, RDP may be limited by the original "monitor" resolution, but this might also be fixed in later updates. This one VM has been up for a few years. (edit, yes this has been changed, VMs with a 4x3 monitor now RDP is whatever I have set).
