For the project I am involved in, AROS, we already use a patched version of GRUB with vesa support in it. Our patch allows GRUB to set a vesa mode before handing over control to the OS, so we do not need to mess with realmode stuff in our code. So from our perspective this would be a welcomed addition to the GRUB2 code base. Kind regards, Johan
