The first one ("OM screen") lives in a dedicated flash partition and is loaded by u-boot. It could be updated by the opkg that is responsible for the other splash screen, in the same way that the kernel opkg will re-flash the kernel partition when it is updated. This might be a good project for one of the community members (hint, hint). It should be possible to hide the linux text scrolling - OpenSuSE (for example) does it, but I don't know the details. I personally like to see the penguin and the Linux messages. AFAIK the remaining issues are because the splash-screen starts out by using the raw framebuffer, and then later X11 is started. I don't know what room for improvement there is in this area - maybe someone else can comment. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
