[Bug 1367109] Re: Consider adding apple_set_os patch to grub

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

I don't have a Macbook so I can hardly review this patch; what is for
sure is it would truly benefit from being brought up to the upstream
mailing list again; so that it can have sufficient review before
including in the Ubuntu and Debian packages.

** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Medium => Wishlist

Title:
  Consider adding apple_set_os patch to grub

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Confirmed
Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Due to some idiosycracies associated with Apple hardware, the Intel
  integrated graphics device is not intialized or detected on boot.
  There is a work around patch for this that was posted[1] at the end of
  2013. I've confirmed that the patch applies cleanly to the grub
  package in utopic as of 2014-09-09.
