 |
|
Hello, I am just having a slight problem with fbsplash and kernel 2.6.10-r6. I believe I have the bootloader configured correclty and am using an initrd. Here is the boot loader entry:
| Code: |
#default kernel to boot
default 0
#boot delay
timeout 10
#hot splash image
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.10-r6
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.10-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda5 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1024x768-16@85 splash=silent,theme:emergence
initrd (hd0,0)/fbsplash-emergence-1024x768
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.8
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/hda5
|
the initrd file exists and fbsplash gives no error messages in dmesg, in fact it seems to think eveything is working. However, no background or splash actually comes up. Could this be a vesa problem with my video card (voodoo 3)? Thanks.[/code] |

Hello and thank you. Eveything was already configured, but I got it working. All I had to do was change vesafb to tdfxfb in the video section in grub. Works great (after a little tweaking  ) |

| Actually, I take that back, it doesn't work great. I can't get the images or text to fill the whole screen. Checking my monitors refresh rate, I see that it is at 85.4, instead of 85. Is this a bug with tdfxfb? Or how can I get the fbsplash to use vesafb (setting it in grub doesn't work). Thanks. |

Do you have both vesafb and tdfxfb compiled into the kernel?
If you dont have vesafb compiled in you cant use (obviously) try buildiong a kernel with just the vesafb option selected not tdfxfb and see if that works.
Sometimes the framebuffers dont play nice with each other. |
