Yes, that's what openSUSE is using currently, see also http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?49012 I hoped there is some trick to skip building this module generically, but then we also have potential issue with config scripts. What about changing all_video to actually load modules at run time based on video.lst? The code itself is trivial. _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
