[snip] Well, you said any help appreciated, so, here is mine: http://alioth.debian.org/projects/splashy http://wiki.nanofreesoft.org/index.php/Splashy We struggle a lot to get kernel patches to do something that should NOT be done by the kernel in the first place. So, we started "splashy", which is a user-space bootsplash program which works for all UNIX (POSIX) compatible operating systems. All you need to make it work: 1. a framebuffer 2. glib-2.x 3. libdirectfb-0.9.x For easier access: Add debian experimental or the splashy repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list file as explained in the wiki. then do: apt-get --purge remove splashy usplash bootsplash debsplash apt-get install splashy Make sure that you keep your grub line with vga=791, the splash= argument is not needed. Reboot and enjoy... Note: we have justs uploaded splashy to experimental. We hope to have a fully stable splashy code in a few more days. But for now, this is a good piece of code to get your hands on and start making your debian boxes prettier. -- ----)(----- Luis M System Administrator Kiskeyix.org "We think basically you watch television to turn your brain off, and you work on your computer when you want to turn your brain on" -- Steve Jobs in an interview for MacWorld Magazine 2004-Feb No .doc: http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.es.html
