Has anyone gotten gensplash to work on 64-bit? It shouldn't be a problem, but I just cannot get it to work.

OK, I got it to work. I had to change the vesafb to radeonfb in my grub.conf.

This is what my line in grub.conf looks like:
| Code: |
title=Gentoo 2.6.9-r1
root (hd0,4)
kernel /kernel-2.6.9-r1-gentoo root=/dev/hda4 video=radeonfb:ywrap,pmipal,1024x768-32@85 splash=silent,theme:gentoo
initrd /boot/fbsplash-gentoo-1024x768
|
Make sure you have Radeon support compiled into the kernel. I don't have my machine up at the moment to tell you exactly what you need to have marked as yes.

I would assume it was nvfb or something like that. Just make sure you have the support for you video card compiled into the kernel.

I can't use radeonfb driver,and I have compiled the ATI radeon support in kernel.
like this:
[ ]TI radeon old support
[*]TI radeon support
[ ]ATI March64 support
[ ]ATI rage128 support
kernel (hd0, /gentoo-2.6.8-rc4 root=/dev/hda11 noapic video=radeonfb:1024x768-24@76,ywap,mtrr silent,theme=emergence
but it doesn't work .
what's wrong with me.
another problem:
when I use vesafb,It works if only the kernel arguments set to
kernel (hd0,/gentoo-2.6.8-rc4 root=/dev/hda11 noapic vga=0x317,ywap,mtrr silent,theme=emergence
not
kernel (hd0,/gentoo-2.6.8-rc4 root=/dev/hda11 noapic video=vesafb:1024x768-24@76,ywap,mtrr silent,theme=emergence
why????
and I can't find /etc/fb.modes .

I think there is one more thing that you have to have compiled into the kernel. I'll try to get my kernel config up soon.

I am not shure but the 1024x768@76 argument is only for vesafb-tng which is able to do more than 60hz but is not working on amd64... or something. Correct me if I am wrong. |

I am not using the vesafb-tng and it is working just fine on my computer (~amd64). Check the previous link about setting up Gensplash in five steps. I was having all sorts of troubles before hand, but it seemed to have fixed it.

# CONFIG_FB_RADEON_OLD is not set
CONFIG_FB_RADEON=y
CONFIG_FB_RADEON_I2C=y
# CONFIG_FB_RADEON_DEBUG is not set
#CONFIG_FB_VESA is not set
