Nice, you did well! I=E2=80=99ve already pushed =E2=80=9Cbdfresize=E2=80=9D and =E2=80=9Cconsol= e-setup=E2=80=9D partly based on your patches: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=3Dfe77ede70ad292c8f= cba80f34b356fecd86f7f78 https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=3D41a54622b691b68e3= 42a0c7de23fec8de14cb739 The GRUB and Xorg parts look overall like the right thing to me=E2=80=94I= =E2=80=99ll take some time to review more closely soon. Then we=E2=80=99ll also need to think about extending the bootloader API (n= ot GRUB-specific), and then providing a way to specify the layout globally in a single place. Anyway, thanks a lot for helping out! Ludo=E2=80=99.
