Bootscreen on {B}LFS
Hey my fellow linux lovers. I have installed a fully functioning LFS and BLFS system, complete with GNOME 2.20. I am now wondering if any of you awesome people know of a way to implement a boot screen. I have tried Splashy but simply could not get the stupid thing to work, and I have also tried the now old Bootsplash project. I got this to work with no troubles but you have to patch you're kernel and the latest available patch is for 2.6.21 i think. So if you know of any project that can help me with this, and one that has a progress bar, please let me know. Thanks in advance _ Overpaid or Underpaid?

The detailed configuration is as below: Dell Inspiron - 1520: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945 Dual Band 802.11a/g 54Mbps Wireless Mini Card This device is now supposed to be supported by: http://intellinuxwireless.org/ open source iwlwifi project Yep. They've been merged into 2.6.24, too. I'm using a 2.6.22 kernel with mac80211-9.0.4 and iwlwifi-0.1.12 (a little old now) patched in on my laptop with the 3945 card and it works fine. I sometimes have trouble with WEP when using NetworkManager, but WPA and WPA2 works great. Integrated Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 This may be a problem device. the closest model I could find to it: Laptop Inspiron 1300 915GM Gentoo ~x86 Works with the latest xf86-video-i810 (4/25/2007) and xserver packages, no 915resolution needed with latest drivers. I have this card. It works fine using xf86-video-i810-1.7.4 or the newer xf86-video-intel-2.x releases. What's in LFS stable and BLFS SVN should work fine for you except for the wireless card. You'll have to either upgrade the kernel to 2.6.24 or patch in the mac80211 and iwlwifi releases to older kernels (you also need the firmware). I would recommend using a current distro and checking the hardware compatibility before starting the build, just so you know exactly what chipset drivers you need for the functionality you want before starting the build. That's a very helpful suggestion. Finding out what kernel modules are in use can help a lot when trying to create a new kernel .config. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

That's a very helpful suggestion. Finding out what kernel modules are in use can help a lot when trying to create a new kernel .config. It is my standard practice with any system I get, put a current mainstream distro on and test the hardware. make the module lists and specific chipsets needed. makes doing an lfs/blfs build much simpler, I know what I need to get extra to make the system function. about 31 hours ago I had to run down 3 flights of stairs, to get a system that was being given to me. I know it's functional and all the hardware is supported, since the person who gave it to me had me install PCLinuxOS on it for him months ago. He only got rid of it to avoid the weight moving across the country. [ free Intel P4 is worth three flights of stairs ;) ] I'll hopefully have enough time to do a base lfs build on it next week.

I haven't quite moved to it for my primary desktop, but I've spent a reasonable amount of time trying it out on a new partition. Didn't encounter any stability problems, and the background preferences worked fine - thank god, since that default green wallpaper is horrible.
