No. fbsplash is for later kernels. Bootsplash stopped working at about
2.6.7. See http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/gensplash/

 I do know that the gentoo version is called gensplash.

Gensplash is the collection of fbsplash, splashutils and other utilities.

As far as I know, if you can get vesa frame buffer on your machine, it
should work.

2005/6/8, Ramón Gutiérrez [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 is there a way to get gensplash to work in a laptop? 
 i got a toshiba a75 but it seems to have some problems with gensplash or
 bootplash, error 22 or something like that, i used genkernel btw. 
 tried manual compilation of kernel (used gentoo-wiki) and nothing.
