Re: Can't get splash scr working - arg
Excellent, Either the defaults file or adding the vesa_load did the trick. Trouble is, kernel boots so fast I get like 3 seconds on the screen ha!. Was more a desire to get working what I could not, than anything else. Thanks!

Can't get splash scr working - arg
As I've been playing with FreeBSD 4.8 stable on a test box, I came across the splash screen feature after building my own kernel. Figured I'd give it a try for the heck of it. Anyways, I've had no success! I've followed the various (not always identical) tutorials on www.baldwin.cx/splash/, free-bsd.org the manual page. Other than my kernel my install is stock 4.8. I'm I missing something obvious? Anyone know if a better tutorial?

Hi Kevin, As I've been playing with FreeBSD 4.8 stable on a test box, I came across the splash screen feature after building my own kernel. Figured I'd give it a try for the heck of it. Anyways, I've had no success! I've followed the various (not always identical) tutorials on www.baldwin.cx/splash/, free-bsd.org the manual page. Other than my kernel my install is stock 4.8. I'm I missing something obvious? Anyone know if a better tutorial? I just fiddled myself with the splash screen, but in CURRENT, so I don't know, if what I say is correct for STABLE, too. First, what is the resolution and color depth of your image? Just type file your_image.bmp to get this info. If it is more than 320 pixels broad you need the VESA-mode preloaded into the kernel to make it work. Thus your graphics card must support this VESA modes in its BIOS, without the use of any DOS TSR programs, as this was the case for many older cards. Check the documentation for your card. The problem in CURRENT is, that the image is looked for in the path for the kernel modules, i.e. /boot/kernel;/boot/modules. If the image is located outside these directories you have to use absolute paths. Check http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=docs/54009 for this. If this doesn't work, please send as the output of the relevant dmesg lines, i.e. the beginning, where the kernel modules are preloaded and some message about the splash module should appear.

Re: Can't get splash scr working - arg
No luck with the link, or placing the splash file in the other dirs. I did find my splash was a bit off on the res, but using a 320x200x8 replacement, and playing around a bit didn't help. I get no flicker or anything that would indicate it's even suggesting of trying a graphics mode. As for dmesg, I get no messages regarding the splash modules or anything. This is using dmesg , or w/ -a as I'm familiar with it. If this doesn't work, please send as the output of the relevant dmesg lines, i.e. the beginning, where the kernel modules are preloaded and some message about the splash module should appear.
