Nice, you did well!
I’ve already pushed “bdfresize” and “console-setup” partly based on your
patches:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=fe77ede70ad292c8fcba80f34b356fecd86f7f78
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=41a54622b691b68e342a0c7de23fec8de14cb739
The GRUB and Xorg parts look overall like the right thing to me—I’ll
take some time to review more closely soon.
Then we’ll also need to think about extending the bootloader API (not
GRUB-specific), and then providing a way to specify the layout globally
in a single place.
Anyway, thanks a lot for helping out!
Ludo’.
