1 The 'gfxmenu' module provides a graphical menu interface for GRUB 2.  It
1 functions as an alternative to the menu interface provided by the
1 'normal' module, which uses the grub terminal interface to display a
1 menu on a character-oriented terminal.

1    The graphical menu uses the GRUB video API, which is currently for
1 the VESA BIOS extensions (VBE) 2.0+.  This is supported on the i386-pc
1 platform.  However, the graphical menu itself does not depend on using
1 VBE, so if another GRUB video driver were implemented, the 'gfxmenu'
1 graphical menu would work on the new video driver as well.
