This is an issue that I think is common to many embedded platforms, but I'm not sure this is the solution. (I'm not sure it's *not* the solution, either). The question I've been looking at is: do sub-second boot times make all this a moot point? After all, if you can bring up your graphics driver in a fraction of a second and use *it* to display a splash screen, it seems like it would meet your need to give almost immediate feedback to users that the system is alive. -- David VomLehn -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
