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?
