Gfxmenu does not work for me

Gfxmenu does not work for me

[Bernard Kolobara]

Hello,

I downloaded the latest GRUB source from the Bazaar today and compiled
it for the i686-pc platform.
I installed grub on a NTFS formatted USB flash drive with:

grub-install --no-floppy --boot-directory=/media/USB /dev/sdb
(this takes 100x more time than installing to a fat32 USB)

After that I got grub to boot without grub.cfg

I tried Colin Bennett's grub.cfg file from here:

http://grub.gibibit.com/files/overlay_2009-07-19.tar.gz

with all the themes/fonts.

But after booting grub complains about not having the pc.mod file and
boots into the standard UI.

Here is the grub.cfg:

insmod pc
insmod biosdisk
insmod font
insmod vbe
insmod gfxterm
insmod videotest
insmod tga
insmod png
insmod gfxmenu

menuviewer="gfxmenu"
gfxmode="640x480"

theme="/grub/themes/ubuntu1/theme.txt"

gfxterm_font="Fixed Regular 12"

timeout=8
default="3"
fallback="2 1"

menuentry "OpenSUSE" --cl
.....
.....

loadfont /grub/fonts/10x20.pf2
loadfont /grub/fonts/4x6.pf2
.....

What am I doing wrong?

Regards, Bernard.

Thank you.
"terminal_output gfxterm" did it.

I could nowhere find up to date documentation for the grub.cfg file.
Can you recommend some resources? Also for the theming file?
