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: * RDTSC instruction (must calibrate with RTC at startup?) * HPET (complex to use?) * RTC (can we set the timer interrupt rate to >18 Hz?) Does anyone have any thoughts on these options? I think that using the TSC (w/ RDTSC instruction) and calibrating it with a quick 2-3 RTC tick loop at startup might be the easiest option.
