How in the world do you set up a GUI??

Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.

Yes, but that requires I be in real mode (at least according to the wiki); I'm using grub.
I don't bother with VBE and Grub. I want my boot loader to be able to prompt me for the graphics mode I want. It's not too difficult to write some code that switches back to real mode temporarily to do the VBE stuff.
If a trainstation is where trains stop, what is a workstation ?
