Hi, I'd like to know if anyone uses grub2 directly from rEFIt, how it is set up and if it has any impact on Linux. I use a Mac mini Core 2 Duo, so it would be interesting if the Intel Xorg driver still works if booting is not done using the legacy BIOS emulation. Regards, Tino |

(no refit though), but be careful though, a few months ago there was a problem as to where you could'nt type in the boot param. (should be fixed with the latest) regards; -- Justin P. Mattock |

I would start at the end if you are looking to help with the video stuff.

There is a lot of stuff from NVidia and ATI users, all I saw about Intel was a comment from a MacBook user who wrote that the Intel Xorg just worked for him. Are there any other details to deal with? I gues I first need to set up an efifb framebuffer console, to get a usable console at all. Does the native Intel Xorg driver still work after this? Regards, Tino |

Try participating in the thread.. Try it... If it doesn't work then you can post some info and get it fixed.

First I need to know how I can even try to make it work, e.g. how to start grub2 from rEFIt and get a text usable console on my Mac mini. This thread is about too much stuff, too much scenarios on several Mac models (desktops, laptops, 32 bit, 64 bit), so I hardly can see where to start with. Regards, Tino |

You've already snarfed at the first page instruction on getting it working. If you are looking for something handed to you on a plate, you are not going to find it. If you are interested, read through the thread. If you are not willing to do that, just wait for another day then. Getting GRUB2 to actually start from rEFIt is not difficult at all, and the instruction is in the thread. I'd get the latest svn code and compile if you want the best results... or pull some of the compiled binaries out of one of the later threads. Work is currently being performed on getting a real xorg driver working (i.e. not fbdev). Since there is nobody with your hardware testing it yet, it would be appreciated if you could try things out and help with getting it working... (It might even work already...)
