"quiet splash" are options that are passed from grub to the kernel, but I just tried them and realized that although they decrease the verbosity they don't eliminate it. I *think* to eliminate it you need special packages and a kernel patch and recompile. I don't think it is related to X , as X doesn't get involved until quite late. This may be the kind of thing you are looking for: http://www.bootsplash.org/ Hopefully I am on the right track this time... > What I don't like is that the largest screen resolution I can set is > 800x600 :-( How can I get back to 1024x768 that I selected during install? You mean in the KDE control center under display, right? I have never been too sure how it interacts with the X config files, but it should let you select any resolution listed in /etc/X11/xorg.conf . You could try unchecking the box that says "apply settings on KDE startup" and restarting. Then it should use the X defaults. Otherwise I dunno.
