Hi, I am not sure if this is in your area, but here goes. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and installed beside Windows XP. AMD Athlon 64 PC Ubuntu installed the GRUB-PC boot loader v 1.98. and I ran into some issues with USB keyboard and mouse - (disabled in BIOS - DUH) Anyway, I discovered that GRUB could display a background image on the boot menu... Try as I might I could not get the darn thing to work. After a lot of searching and reading on GRUB 2 that was not and yet was version 2. I found that if I went into the command mode and entered:
insmod vbe insmod gfxterm terminal_output console terminal_output gfxterm insmod tga set color_normal=red/black set menu_color_normal=cyan/black set menu_color_highlight=magenta/black background_image (hd0,1)/usr/share/images/grub/Windbuchencom.tga I got the background colored text and resolution I was looking for. 2 Questions: 1. why do I need to "terminal_output console" first to get gfxterm to work? 2. I could not find much on the background_image needing the "ismod tga" loaded. One of webpages that gave me the final clues was - http://grub.enbug.org/FranklinPiat/grub.cfg.manpage?highlight=% 28terminfo%29 thanks for your time. regards, L.T.
