Description

Rather than using the monitor default, let's read the mode as set by the boot process and use that as default.

Should be particularly helpful for smooth boot on non-default modes.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify where the display mode is currently defaulted (likely using the monitor default) and locate the boot process mode setting. Then implement reading the boot set mode and using it as the default instead.
