<damo22>yes if grub sets up the fb via VBE, hurd can use that fb in the console

<damo22>but there is no way to do modesetting

<damo22>and i think the resolution is hardcoded in gnumach?

<damo22>for the number of pixels it tries to use?

<damo22>so if that is less than the current mode, you get partial black screen i think

<diegonc>I can't decide where to document the vm size limit functions:

<diegonc> 1. Memory Attributes :: next to vm_wire/vm_wire_all

<diegonc> 2. Mapping Memory Objects :: next to vm_map

<diegonc> 3. New section for the couple of functions

<Scissors>configure: error: unsupported combination of cpu type `x86_64' and platform `default'.gnumach-1.8$

<Scissors>What will happen if (void *) p + something? Will it be += something * sizeof(int), or +=something *1? Because I found it in hurd source, and I'm not sure it working as you probably hope...

<jrtc27>the latter

<jrtc27>but it's a GNU extension

<jrtc27>and is a weird one

<Scissors>Need we to rewrite it as (void *) (((int) *p) + something) or so?

<Scissors>...especially it's something near argc, argv, string parsing....
