Greetings, all.

I have kind of a general UEFI dev question. I have multiple video adapters in a 
system in which the BIOS doesn't provide even a hidden means of selecting a 
particular adapter to use as the default boot adapter. It seems like the 
heuristic is similar to what vgaarb does in the Linux kernel, where it takes 
the adapter with the highest available PCI device ID and that one becomes the 
active boot adapter.

I've read a bit of the UEFI spec about the GOP protocol, but what I wanted to 
know was where I could look for the code that makes the determination for the 
heuristic. Does it reside in a DXE driver module, or is it in a different 
location? If so, could you tell me which one or where might I look to find it?

Also, is there a way without patching a UEFI BIOS to change that heuristic if 
the BIOS itself doesn't provide a setup option? Like, could I add a DXE driver 
to change it, or some other driver in the boot EFI partition? (I would tend to 
think it would be too late at that point, but figured I would ask).

Thank you in advance for any advice,
Talarus Luan
