Hello, I'm trying to create my own bootsplash theme. Currently, the default theme for Gentoo works @ 1280x1024, however I when I tried to create and load my own image, I just get the standard frambuffer boot screen when I restart. The following is the image I created and my grub.conf file. Thanks in advance for any help.

Here are three ideas:
    1) In your config it looks like ty=256 + th=805 > 1024 which would cause the failure.

    2) I always need squash my jpegs to 16 levels:
    Code:
    convert -depth 16 old.jpg new.jpg


    3) If you want your image to show up at boot time you need to make your own initrd file.

Thanks, for some reason I thought that the th and tw values were the (x,y) coords of the bottom right corner. I guess I should take my own advice and RTFM.
