That is the reason why it is disabled. That being said, if there would be really a vga video driver then that would definitely need to be placed elsewhere. If you just remove it from CVS it will most likely be forgotten and base code will be "lost". You are of course free to do as you wish with vga terminal. I have no objections on its removal. ___ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel

Re: grub2 i386
update-grub isn't intended to generate a grub.cfg that you can use on a
standalone rescue floppy. For that you can write it manually or just use
grub-mkrescue.

There happens to be terminal module. Just add it to you core.img. You might need console module too. Sorry don't have time to dig out my script.

If you want to make video driver for it then and keep it up-to-date, otherwise no. Personally I have no intention to work on it. It displays garbage because font system has changed... and will be changed again in future once there is vector font support. For that I think font blitter goes away and new bitmap blitter (or old one) is used. Question how to scale to different display sizes hasn't been solved either... This is the main reason for vector fonts, scaling bitmap fonts just gets really ugly. ___ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
