To implement a nice GUI with some animations, it will be important to
have a timer with a better resolution than 1/18 second (which appears
to be the current GRUB timer resolution on the PC).
What would be the best way to do this? Possibilities that I am aware of
are:

I was wondering why it is necessary to use the integral types with
the "grub_" prefix instead of the standard uint32_t, int16_t, etc.?
It makes the most simple code much more verbose when we have to write
"grub_" so many times, and this seems like a case where it is not
needed.

I want to install GRUB 2 on a CompactFlash card, which I will boot on
my Mini-ITX VIA C3 system for testing, by attaching the CF card to an

I'm working on implementing a higher resolution timer using the x86
TSC. However, this entails 64-bit arithmetic since on a 2GHz machine
it will overflow a 32-bit number every couple of seconds (the TSC
counter CPU cycles since boot).
So to convert the TSC value into a value in milliseconds, I ne

How does GRUB support decompressing DEFLATE compressed data? Based on
my reading of io/gzio.c, it looks like a gzip header is required to
inflate deflated data.
I am implementing a new font format and will be embedding multiple
blocks of compressed bitmaps in the font file for a good combination
it on another platform and finds problems, please let me know and
I can try to fix it.

It looks like grub_strdup() does not terminate the returned string with
a 0 byte. The only way I could see it working is if grub_malloc()
filled the returned memory with zeroes. Does 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.
