grub_term.checkkey behaviour in GRUB2

grub_term.checkkey behaviour in GRUB2

[Patrick Georgi]

Hi,

I'm working on a multiplexer terminal device (which sends requests to 
several terminals in the backend, eg. console and serial in parallel) 
and ran into different behaviour in checkkey on console and serial.

console's checkkey consumes the keypress it returns (if there is one), 
serial's doesn't. What's the intended behaviour?


Regards,
Patrick

I think the checkkey shouldn't consume key, as the name suggest.
getkey is the one that actually reads the key. But anyway, I could
have some major work on the console interface recently, so you may
want to wait a while before making changes.

BTW, are you working on coreboot ? I remember something wrong about
the elf program header or whatever, is that fixed now ?
