Hello all,
Looking at gnubharti and Morphix at the I-LUGD stall at Linux Asia 2004 I
decided to have the same way a penguin at my console.
I'm running Debian Sarge on my two systems.
On first system having a VESA compliant VGA, bootsplash has been configured and runs
pretty well with a minor kernel re-compile.
But on my other system running Debian Sarge (kernel 2.4.18) which has a Intel 815E
Motherboard with onboard graphics, it doesn't work Completely.
Here's what I did so far:
I recompiled the kernel (2.4.18) patching it with i810fb support (Thanks to Tony
Daplas for his beautiful work). FrameBuffer works pretty well here. Then I again
patched the kernel with the bootsplash patch. After a full re-compilation (with no
errors ofcourse) I got a running kernel.
Now, hitting `splash -n -s -u 8 /etc/bootsplash/themes/Linux/bootsplash-800x600.cfg`
brings up an error message saying, "kernel: Looking for splash picture.... found, but
framebuffer can't handle it!".
I think it does understand my working FrameBuffer Device. Any pointers for gurus there
or any success stories you've had so far with it on Inter Boards ?
