instead of

and you should be set

Doh, you guys are fast. I compiled love2 earlier today and I haven't even rebooted yet. Keep it coming

Nice! But what's up with those nforce2 patches? I thought everything worked OK with that chipset (at least it does for me??)?

neenee, so the patch damouse made for swsups didn't work? i'm not surprised if it didn't. so close! doh.

for those that needs swsups2, use this kernel http://www.darav.de/kernel_stuff.html
it seems like that is the kernel for laptops, love sources is great and all but without suspend, it's pretty hard to keep linux and laptops mobile

maybe i'll be able to patch love3 with swsusps patches.

thanks for the xyz-kernel to whomever posted the link when we were talking about swsusp2 (sorry i forgot your nick)

Why is there nforce2 patches? I thought they were not needed anymore. Has something changed?

great release, thanks a lot ... everything works fine, inclusive bootsplash and vesafb ( applied vesa-rrc patch ), no more usb problem at boot.

such a lovely one

This feels like a good one to me. The latency under load seems better and I'm not getting the audio glitches with heavy system use that I'd been seeing recently.

Nice work!

win4lin patch specifically for this release available at the usual place (although as stahlsau mentioned, the older one works as well).

Looks good and gonna try it 2night here.
One question though... where is bootsplash...

Is that fbsplash thingy the replacement..??? and how does that work

Is there possible to make a broken-out dir? It would be very nice

fbsplash simply doesn't work for me. It's also an awful lot of work for something that was so simple in the past. Oh well.

neenee · Veteran Joined: 20 Jul 2003 Posts: 1786

well, you only have to do it once - since themes from bootsplash can be used,
and you can skip to step 4 if you use love-sources, making the guide far shorter.

bootsplash was broken in the past loves, so if you wanted to properly use it,
you'd have to run 2.6.7-love8 anyway - feel free to use that for bootsplash.

i'm sorry to hear things did not work out for you.

God thank you for that vesa reverse patch, my system got screwed because of vesa-tng with no way out!

So i guess bootsplash is outta tha way??? and gensplash is the definite replacement...? If not I'm not gonna go through the trouble to set gensplash instead of bootsplash
