 |

Hi ,
I recently see this article
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash
& was interested in it.
I configured the kernel as it said & recompiled.
After that to check it i entered
| Code: | | splash_manager --theme=gentoo --cmd=set --tty=1 |
It works fine & did the expected work.
But I could not get it at boot time boot.
According to my hardware my kernel configuration is
| Code: | <*> nVidia Riva support
[*] Enable DDC Support
[ ] Lots of debug output
|
It is not VESA framebuffer.
if i use
| Code: | | [*] VESA VGA graphics support |
without Nvidia Riva I cant get the resolution at console.
to make initramfs the command i used is
| Code: | | splash_geninitramfs gentoo -r 1024x768 -g /boot/gentoo -v |
and
my /boot/grub/menu.lst is
| Code: | title=Gentoo withfb
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel root=/dev/hda2 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr vga=791 splash=silent,fadein,theme:gentoo quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
initrd /boot/gentoo |
It is not working.
I think it is not vesafb in video options
So what should be it to work with Nvidia Riva framebuffer.
Have i done any other mistake or did i miss any step ??
Please help me.
Thank you ! |
