As I had some issues with mixing them with each other I renamed all kernel stubs like from grub_vbe_* to grub_vbe_bios_* so they cannot be easily mixed. I was thinking that is there a still need to have those helper functions at all there? If they will be there I will use them from driver code, if not, I will integrate the functionality to driver code. By integrating the code to driver it would make that driver file more easier to read, but then we lose option to use those helpers directly. One option is to move them elsewhere, but then there is a problem what is the module name and where. I will update shortly (tomorrow most likely) wiki with results of the newest API design round. After I think it is correct I will concentrate on enhancing the terminal code to make use of newly added functionality. Thanks, Vesa J=C3=A4=C3=A4skel=C3=A4inen
