Re: newcons splash screen
Is the newcons nonsupport for console screensaver related to the nonsupport for newcons splash screen? Situation is the same in NetBSD 7.0_RELEASE and STABLE, and current/head, no support for screensaver. DRMKMS is NetBSD's equivalent/counterpart of FreeBSD's newcons. Boot to console comes up into 250x67, like in FreeBSD after exiting X.

Re: newcons splash screen
I've started my loader / vt hacking again, but it'll all be post-11.0-RELEASE. I'll tidy up some initial patches to loader and get them into git so people can review/evaluate/test them. I'm also hoping to land something vt_vesa'ish too, as I'd like to use a vesa splash screen for non-EFI boots (for "reasons".) Just bug me. Gently, but bug me. -adrian On 20 May 2016 at 09:22, Kris Moore wrote: > On 05/20/16 12:06 PM, Juan Ramón Molina Menor wrote: >>> Hello, >>> is it possible to use a splash screen yet with newcons?

Re: newcons splash screen
Hello, is it possible to use a splash screen yet with newcons? I've been looking at the source code for VT, and it would appear there has been some work done towards this? https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/sys/dev/vt/vt.h Also the wiki page shows limited support: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons I've tried the standard method of enabling a splash screen but it of course does not work. I don't think I was able to get it to work with syscons either whereas it used to work. https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/boot-splash.html Is there another way? Or is it still not ready yet? Joe Maloney Hi! Maybe you are already aware of it, but in 2014 there was a Google Summer of Code project on improving the bootsplash: https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCode2014/Bootsplash It worked well with sc(4), but I don’t know wether it applies to vt(4)… Juan ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
