Terminal window

[Luis Paulo]

Right, it does not. Didn't get it.

So you are now trying to change the "virtual terminal"?
I will not ask why. :)

Never thought of it. I have machines without X, but I manage them through
ssh in a gnome-terminal (/dev/pts/N, a pseudo-terminal?)
I think virtual terminal (VT) is a possible name for /dev/ttyN.

Don't really know, its too technical.

I think graphics on /dev/ttyN also don't have anything to do with grub.
grub2 can enhance a selection screen, as you could with any simple
programing language with a graphical extension. It does not provide a
"graphical" terminal.

But not sure at all.

from http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Text-Terminal-HOWTO.html
"For the case of text terminals there is no high-speed graphic display (or
high resolution graphics) although they can often use graphic character sets
to draw boxes, etc. This lack limits the software that may be used on it."
