[gentoo-user] fbsplash problem !!!

[Allan Spagnol Comar]

Hi all, Ie been looking at thee gentoo wiki and internet to find out
what my problem is but can't find it any where.

I installed splash_utils and make the right kernel options and when I
try to run splash_util -c on I got this error message
FBIOSPLASH_SETSTATE failed, error code 22. Does someone have a clue of
what this could be ?

Thank you all, Allan

I've seen the same or similar error to this-- but only when the
following conditions are met:

1) When using the livecd-2005.0 theme (I've installed the livecd-2005.1
theme, but haven't tried it yet)

2) in verbose mode (in silent mode, I get a kernel panic).

The cause seems to be that the livecd-2005.0 theme is not complete (no
8bpp images), and while I could probably convert copies of the existing
images to 8bpp so that the config would find the images it's looking
for, I really can't be bothered to do so atm.

Emergence works fine (mostly; slight graphical corruption, possibly due
to my ATI card) in both silent and verbose modes. Too bad I don't really
like Emergence, but at least it has a matching GDM theme-- which is more
than can be said for the livecd themes-- so my boot process has at least
a consistent look (if not one I'm most fond of).

What version of splashutils, and kernel are you using, and what splash
theme?

HTH,

Holly

I am using splashutils 1.1.9.7 and livecd-2005.1, and genkernel 3.2.5
works very well with all the stuff.  So I think you can find the
solution inside the genkernel scripts.

Check your kernel config and see if you've used vesafb-tng. Also, set 
the resolution for vesafb-tng the same as the resolution of your splash 
theme. For example, on my system, im using the 1280x1024 version of 
emergence (2005.0/2005.1 doesn't work for me though) with the default 
console resolution for vesafb-tng set also to 1280x1024.

Are you trying Gensplash or Bootsplash?

I am using splashutils, I believe that this means I am using GenSplash !?
