simpler. Rename "wait" to "pause". Rename "sysreq" to "sysrq".
(keysym_table): Rename "num5numlock" to "numlock".

Vladimir Serbinenko).

DOS-style "\r\n" line endings as simple newlines (Debian bug
#586358).

check with a check that ${GRUB_PREFIX}/video.lst is non-empty.
* util/grub.d/00_header.in (load_video): New generated function.
Call it before loading gfxterm rather than loading
