Re: [GRUB1] Accessibility: Add beep support
Hi, I know that no new feature are added to grub1, but this really small feature (it can be just implemented as echo ^G) would be _much_ useful for blind people. Please see details on https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitemitem_id=14661 I proposed a patch adding an echo command: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/download.php?item_id=14661item_file_id=30 77 Could this be commited? Regards, Samuel Hi Samuel, if you happen to build a grub cdrom with this feature in it please send it to me or tell me an url to it. I think that the beep thing should be easily OFF or ON. Why don't you make a beep ON OFF command. My idea for GSD would be default entry (in 5 seconds) activates beep and not default entry do not activates it. (Useful in Offices where there are a lot of people) Then I could assign each GSD option a sound or something. Well, I'm not quite sure. Do you think GSD is useful for a blind person? adrian15 GSD is found at http://adrian15.raulete.net/grub/ ___ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel

If you know the answer, you don't have to ask it. ;) Whether it is big or small, whether it is useful or useless, the policy remains unchanged.

I was thinking about submitting it again those days. That could be useful on the long term indeed (for playing tunes according to booting stages for instance). It is funny that something written only for fun can be very useful. Okuji ___ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel

I think I'll add (f)scanf functions in a library module as you suggested, so tunes can be passed as arguments in a human (or voice-synthesis) readable form. Might be something like : play tempo tone duration [tone duration [...]] and play file I don't know much about the music conventions/standards, I'll dig a bit so I can make something once for all and quickly discoverable. About grub 1 policy, yes I meant my patch would be for grub 2.
