This is the first of many patches that I will be posting of my Google

This patch adds support to the 'grub-mkrescue' command on the i386-pc
platform for specifying multiple '--overlay' options. Each --overlay
option will result in the later overlays potentially o

This patch adds support for a 'class' attribute on menu entries. It is
somewhat of a kludge, however since currently you just append
"|class=this,that" to the menu entry title to specify the classes.
Classes are used to provide a simple and flexible way for the best
available icon to be used in a
This patch adds optimized routines for video modes using BGR/BGRA color
format. Most PC video cards use BGR (24-bit) or BGRA (32-bit) color
modes, so this is an extremely important change and provides a massive
performance benefit.
I also renamed the R8G8B8A8 and R8B8B8 modes to RGBA and RGB8
This patch adds double buffering support to the VBE video driver. It
uses page flipping if possible, and falls back on using an offscreen
buffer which is blitted to video memory if page flipping is not
possible.

Thanks for the patch. In it went with a slight modification.
I think we need to get rid of those magic values

Ah, what I meant about linking was to make it easy to link external code into
GRUB modules. Standalone executables sound more overkill to me.

Is this really needed? sizeof("foo") implicitly includes the trailing \0.

Hi, this week I made a clean debian sid install and decided to install
grub2 (grub-pc) instead of -legacy. It is working nicely, great job
there! Thank you!
I wanted to add the "hiddenmenu" functionality found in grub-legacy, to
this end I came across the previous version of
http://grub.enbug.org/
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=496706 and say if
this is an upstream bug or not.

This refinement is against current SVN head. It introduces the VBE
mode info field constant values into vbe.h and these are used instead
of the magic numbers in vbeinfo.c.
