Impressive I must say :)
It was even transparent.
Now only problem is what is the best location for vbe.c that would
contain helper functions for modules that needs VBE. Currently I have it
in term/i386/pc/vbe.c but is there better location for this? And is
GRUB_MOD_INIT and GRUB_MOD_FINI mandory as I do not have need for those
in this module? Seems to work without them.
Is the file include/grub/i386/pc/vbe.h correct place to put function
prototypes?
Is directory commands/i386/pc/ correct place for commands vbe_list_modes
and vbe_test?
Thanks,
