• Bug#965026: grub-emu is unusable with orca nor BRLTTY

    Hello everyone,
    tried if I can reproduce this issue here and found it
    shows up with a qemu VM without giving any vga device options.

    I got following list where I could find the issue:

    grub-emu (2.06-3~deb10u4, buster) broken
    grub-emu (2.06-3~deb11u6, bullseye) broken
    grub-emu (2.06-13+deb12u1, bookworm) broken
    grub-emu (2.12-8, trixie/testing) working

    In Trixie I could leave the application by 'c'onsole and 'halt'.
    Maybe the change from sdl1 to sdl2 changed some internals in grub-emu.
    Before it seems grub-emu did not even respond to any keyboard input.

    Therefore is this bug still an issue?
    As it looks like grub-emu no longer uses framebuffer,
    does it work now with orca/brltty?

    Kind regards,
    Bernhard
