Bug#574052: grub-pc: too much output for vbeinfo, useless

[Marc Haber]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

when I type vbeinfo at a grub shell, the list of available video modes
is somewhat 60-70 lines long, and only the last 25 stay visible.
vbeinfo needs a pager, or grub needs scrollback capabilities.

In the current situation, vbeinfo is useless.

Greetings
Marc
