12.1 Introduction
=================
The 'gfxmenu' module provides a graphical menu interface for GRUB 2. It
functions as an alternative to the menu interface provided by the
'normal' module, which uses the grub terminal interface to display a
menu on a character-oriented terminal.
The graphical menu uses the GRUB video API, which is currently for
the VESA BIOS extensions (VBE) 2.0+. This is supported on the i386-pc
platform. However, the graphical menu itself does not depend on using
VBE, so if another GRUB video driver were implemented, the 'gfxmenu'
graphical menu would work on the new video driver as well.
