If this option is deleted or commented out, the + program default remains to not scan all Linux kernels; but with + increasing numbers of distributions shipping with kernels that include + EFI stub loader support, setting the configuration file default to scan + for them makes sense. + +- Modified the "resolution" token so that it affects text mode as well + as graphics mode. On my systems, though, the actual text area is still + restricted to an 80x25 area. (This seems to be a firmware limitation; my + EFI shells are also so limited.) - Fixed a bug that caused the options line editor to blank out lines that were not actually edited.
