* grub-core/video/video.c (grub_video_edid_checksum): New function.
(grub_video_edid_preferred_mode): Likewise. Try EDID followed by
the Flat Panel extension, in line with the X.org VESA driver.

New function.

(grub_video_vbe_setup): When the mode is "auto", try to get the
preferred mode from VBE, and use the largest mode that is no larger
than the preferred mode (some BIOSes expose a preferred mode that is
not in their mode list!). If this fails, fall back to 640x480 as a
safe conservative choice.

* util/grub.d/00_header.in (GRUB_GFXMODE): Default to "auto". This
is more appropriate on a wider range of platforms than 640x480.

status flag options; simply omitting the option is equivalent and
simpler. Rename "wait" to "pause". Rename "sysreq" to "sysrq".
(keysym_table): Rename "num5numlock" to "numlock".

and GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN_DEFAULT. Recommend setting
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text rather than unsetting it in order to
disable gfxpayload.
(Shell-like scripting): Add real content.
(Serial terminal): Suggest `terminal_input serial; terminal_output
serial' rather than putting the two commands on separate lines,
since console input will be inoperative after the first command.

Vladimir Serbinenko).
(GNU/Linux): Update for GRUB 2.

GRUB Legacy configure option. Update instructions to use
`terminal_input' and `terminal_output' rather than `terminal'.
