Problem/Justification
The default console output from TrueNAS Scale 25.04 allows for no method to easily configure the console output resolution from the GUI. This causes problems for some monitors attached to the console output. Furthermore, the default configuration poses challenges for those administrators managing TrueNAS systems using the console display who may have vision impairments.
Impact
With this addition, an easily changeable console output resolution would allow users to tailor their console output video for an easily readable resolution based upon their requirements.
User Story
A check box configuration setting to enable the addition of video console output parameters could be added to the System>Advanced Settings>Console area in the GUI, which when checked, would allow the user to input different horizontal/vertical pixel rates and refresh rates. This would in turn allow the middleware to modify the ‘kernel_extra_options’ variable by adding the ‘video=HxV@R’ configuration parameter to to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT before kernel bootup. This would allow the user to easily change the console video resolution on the next boot without having to resort to shell access to do so.
