I have all of this working on my Dell e1705 laptop. Significant details: 2.6.15-suspend2-r8 [ebuild R ] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8756 0 kB [ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.2-r3 USE="dri -debug -ipv6 -minimal -xprint" 0 kB Also I use the vesafb-tng framebuffer driver. > If yes, then if you know anyone has everything working, I would be > obliged to note the version numbers etc and any pointers. > - not being clear about difference between gensplash and bootsplash > [they seem to serve the same purpose] which one should I use on my > system. Should I emerge one, or both or one of them and themes for both? I would suggest not dealing with bootsplash issues at this point, and work on getting a stable framebuffer working. Once you have that, the bootsplash side of things is pretty straight-forward. -Richard -- [email protected] mailing list
