Shutdown splash corrupt with KDE 4.2

[sidamos]

I had a working Gentoo 2007 boot/shutdown splash theme incl. progress bar with KDE 3.5.

Now with KDE 4.2, the boot splash works OK, but when I am doing a shutdown, it just shows a corrupt screen, not the splash theme.

I guess, this has something to do with the 3D desktop effects.

I am using a laptop with the open source radeon driver and xorg-server 1.5.3.

Any hints?

Thanks!

Make sure your grub.conf is correct and you might have to recompile the initrd file using splashutils, and recompile your kernel with the correct arguments set. I had to do this to get my bootsplash working when I updated to @kde-4.2. Here is the source I used to get it working.

Thanks for the tip.

In the meantime, I saw it sometimes working...

Anyway, I now have recreated kernel and initrd and will check, if it now works always during shutdowns.
