Constants are i386-pc specific. In particular left and right shift are distinguished but not ctrl or alt. We should either distinguish them all or none. Going to real mode to retrieve keyboard status is absolutely unnecessary: same info is available in BDA. Perhaps our console driver should switch to BDA altogether but I'm not sure that this will work since grub2 disables interrupts (tests needed) but it definitly works with keyboard status. Driver should return a consistent value even if it doesn't support asynchronous query unless driver ignores modifier keys altogether (EFI, sigh) or has no way to know if they are pressed unless they are pressed together with another key. In the case of at_keyboard it specifically means to return at_keyboard_status transformed to correct format. > > Thanks, > > -- > Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] > > _______________________________________________ > Grub-devel mailing list > Grub-devel@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel > > -- Regards Vladimir 'phcoder' Serbinenko Personal git repository: http://repo.or.cz/w/grub2/phcoder.git _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
