Short description:
Extend video chip support of 915resolution.mod

Description:

Current 915resolution.mod in GRUB2 doesn't support video device GMA3150.
But here is new console version of 915resolution utility that does support this card and some others.
(Source in 5th post) http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=32462
It will be great to use that source and extend video chip support of 915resolution.mod in GRUB2.

I have few experience compiling GRUB modules, I tried this one manual:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/49901786/GRUB2-Modules

I also found this http://grub2.sourcearchive.com/documentation/1.99~20110112-1ubuntu1/915resolution_8c_source.html
That source shows simple way to transform 915resolution.c utility source with #defines and wrappers( grub_cmd_915resolution
- see the end of source file, it just calls main f-n) to GRUB2 module source.

To compile it I downloaded GRUB2 source(need headers) and played a little setting up manually gcc.
Finally compiled 915resolution.mod was placed to /boot/grub/
But GRUB says : "error: incompatible license" and refuses to load my
915resolution.mod, maybe I did something wrong. Maybe I should integrate 915resolution.c file to GRUB
makefile and make it all together instead of compiling 915resolution.c alone like I did.
Anyway I ask experienced developers to help and implement this in future versions of 915resolution.mod

Did anyone try to get this upstream?
