Subject: Anyone working on graphics console for GRUB 2?
Date: Mon, 10 May 2004 19:38:14 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <409F4D86.80709@iinet.net.au> (raw)
If someone has started on this, how will the graphics be done? Will
it use a standalone SVGAlib, maybe a "generic" SVGA framebuffer,
working to the VESA BIOS Extensions v3 or somesuch? The RedHat Grub
screen is very nice. Not sure how they did it. Has a nice clean set
of widgets. How would Unicode characters be drawn on the screen,
would there be a lookup table of bitmap font outlines or something?
