Umm... pardon me for asking, but you've said at least twice that an
error informs you that splash can't open the config file on
/etc/splash-- but you've never said that you checked the config file at
/etc/splash to confirm that it 1) exists 2) is readable (permissions,
syntax).... does something in or related to /etc/splash (like
/etc/conf.d/splash, or in some strange twist of fate,
/etc/init.d/splash, in addition to the config file found in each theme
folder in /etc/splash itself) have some association with fd0 (the floppy
drive) for some reason? Do you even have a floppy drive? Even so, the
splash config file certainly won't be found there.
Yes the files exist and the permissions are right where i should be
able to use them. and the /dev/fb0 and /dev/fb/0 i have no idea wtf they
are.
/dev/fb/0 (symlinked from /dev/fb0) are the device nodes for accessing
the framebuffer device. During services startup (i.e, the part that
happens after after the root filesystem is mounted and the kernel starts
init) these nodes are created automatically when udevstart is run by
/sbin/rc. This only happens if a usable framebuffer driver is compiled
into your kernel (not as a module!) and the driver found a usable
graphics card.
Could you post your dmesg output right after booting. I want to make
sure that the framebuffer device is being found at boot time. You
should be seeing messages like this:
radeonfb: Retreived PLL infos from BIOS
radeonfb: Reference=27.00 MHz (RefDiv=6) Memory=344.00 Mhz,
System=236.00 MHz
radeonfb: PLL min 20000 max 35000

radeonfb: Monitor 1 type LCD found

radeonfb: panel ID string: 1600x1200
radeonfb: detected LVDS panel size from BIOS: 1600x1200
radeondb: BIOS provided dividers will be used
radeonfb: Dynamic Clock Power Management enabled

fbsplash: console 0 using theme 'emergence'
fbsplash: switched splash state to 'on' on console 0
radeonfb (0000:01:00.0): ATI Radeon NP
I think yours should say something about vesafb-tng.
