The post #28 grub64.efi binary still works. The default.txt display is not very exciting, but it does provide all the features for booting, editing and terminals.

All working, password, savedefault, progress bar, timeout.
Also with high quality background picture, the display is very good, but my camera has problems with moire and color from LCD display.
...
The attached binary seems to be missing modules password.mod and loadenv.mod and maybe true.mod.
Compiled from current burg trunk revno 1772 looks ok with this preloaded module list (maybe some...

revno1770 On Apple imac81. 1920x1200 display.

I will add a picture later.
Text mode window size and resolution.
On 1920x1200 display (24inch) EFI text mode default is a small window 80 column 25 row, compared with full size 240 row 63 col. The small window also has...
Yes max_lines works nicely. gfx terminal is very fast now, but text terminal wins for debuggiing - try set debug=all with command line boot linux /vmlinuz (debian lenny).
Thanks that fixed it.
All good so far on IMAC81, aluminium keyboard,
Terminal TAB completion is great.
(history?).
All works well with all the keys in mapkey, onkey (right from the startup screen), still to...
