I'm not sure I understand the problem you are trying to describe here.
"Then the driver can prevent black screen on uninstall/disable" -> is
this saying on non-UEFI system, we still have a black screen issue with
the driver in git master?

"also when it was installed on UEFI machine after the production driver
0.18 which did not report valid video mode." -> I assume this part is
related to the commit "Fix for black screen on driver uninstall on ovmf
platform"? If yes, isn't the issue that you describe already fixed by
that commit?


All the scenarious below are related to ovmf platform

Flow 1: the driver from current master branch installed on the machine where no qxl-wddm-dod driver installed
(or previous one uninstalled and reboot done)
The driver can be uninstalled without problem (this what was fixed by previous commit).

Flow 2: there is current production driver (0.18) installed. Driver update 0.18->current master works OK.
(the driver does not know video mode on startup but it can live without it)
Uninstalling the driver still causes black screen (or broken screen), as the driver does not know which mode to report on exit.
If it even reports some default, it might be wrong due to various reasons (will cause broken screen, which is not better than black).
This is what current commit fixes.

By any chance, is this stored in the registry as well?

Proper video mode is stored in the registry by the OS. Undocumented, however.
This does not help to store it again, the point is to query _proper_ video mode.
 

Apart from this, looks good to me.
