Control: tags -1 + patch Hi,
The attached patch: - adds support for five variables in grub-mkconfig: GRUB_APPLE_GMUX_INIT GRUB_APPLE_GMUX_SELECT GRUB_APPLE_GMUX_DISPLAY GRUB_APPLE_GMUX_DDC GRUB_APPLE_GMUX_POWER - makes use in these variables in 10_linux - fills some default in /etc/default/grub. When GRUB_APPLE_GMUX_INIT is "yes", sets some other variables that are needed in this context: GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES: without it, the screen remains blank until the computer boots (the user never sees the grub menu). GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=console: without it, the screen remains black in console mode, i.e. until X11 starts. GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT: add several options, without which the screen also remains black. All of these are *necessary* to get recent Apple Macbook pros to display anything when boot in EFI mode, and I also believe that these setting are *sufficient* for the purpose. I think it would be really nice to let the users do all of that with just uncommenting one line instead of tinkering like I did for several weeks... Ideally, it would be great to have grub-mkconfig detect automatically whether to enable GRUB_APPLE_GMUX_INIT, however I don't know how this could be done. As is, the user will still need to access his box through ssh or boot from the install medium to fix this setting. Kind regards, Thibaut. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
