gfx & backgrounds

[BandiPat]

Hi all,
Just downloaded and built the 2010 svn today, moving from the 1996 
release.  What has changed from the two versions?  I no longer get the 
gfxterm or background images.  Only the 640x480 text mode is active and 
I've not found anything to make that change.  Here is grub.cfg I'm 
using.  Let me know if you need more.  This was not changed from the 
1996 to 2010 either.

#
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
#
# It is automatically generated by /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig using templates
# from  and settings from /etc/default/grub
#

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ###
set default=0
set timeout=10
# set root=(hd0,x)
# search --fs-uuid --set a9f94b44-10eb-44c9-8637-fc3bb2eecf79
if loadfont /usr/share/grub/ascii.pf2 ; then
   set gfxmode=1024x768x32
   insmod gfxterm
   insmod vbe
   if terminal_output gfxterm ; then true ; else
     # For backward compatibility with versions of terminal.mod that don't
     # understand terminal_output
     terminal gfxterm
   fi
fi
insmod png
background_image /boot/grub/Zenblue.png
### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ###
------------

Compile shows no errors during build and the build script has not 
changed, except for the version number.  Everything I know to check 
seems normal, so I'll depend on your guidance for the problem.

Thanks,
Pat

Ok, problem solved, chalk this error up to the short between the 
keyboard and chair!  Sorry to have bothered you guys.  I'll try to be 
more careful in compiling next time!  svn2010 working good so far.

Boy is my face red,
Pat
