grub-emu screen is black.

grub-emu screen is black.

[Franklin PIAT]

Hello,

I'm not sure if you are aware of this behaviour when a grub.cfg is
present : 

When I start grub-emu, only "GNU GRUB  version 1.95" is shown. The
menu isn't displayed (I have to press "c" then "esc" twice).

Even worse, If I set "set color_normal=white/black", grub-emu is
completely black  (I have to press "c" then "esc" twice).

grub version : Debian/sid's grub-pc_1.95+20080128-1_i386.deb

Franklin.

Color support in our ncurses glue might not be complete.  Anyway, as long as
you can type commands I don't see it as a big problem.  Feel free to try
fixing it if you like (check the setcolor/getcolor support in util/).
