Agreed (as a lapsed sysadmin). It makes a lot of sense that the program do
the right thing in the context of the menu presented to the user. That just
means keypad 8 & 2 are up and down, keypad 1 and 2 are the entries. Belenix
have managed it after all, so the code must be knocking around.
If the code is not yet open then how did the Belenix people get this going?
As far as I can see Grub background graphic (XPM) is a feature that
is already
present in the Grub that comes with OpenSolaris. All I have done is
to take
the Grub graphic (designed by the inimitable Chandan) xpm and gzip it
into
boot/grub/belenixboot.xpm.gz
Then added the following lines to boot/grub/menu.lst
splashimage=/boot/grub/belenixboot.xpm.gz
foreground=7f4e00
background=e0e0e0
The graphics boot patch (source code) for Grub that has been used in
OpenSolaris
is present in the OpenSolaris source tree:
usr/src/grub/grub-patches/grub-0.95-graphics.patch

Moinak.
