Subject: [gentoo-user] Fbsplash
Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2011 22:19:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110623221943.555c4374@november> (raw)


Since upgrading my kernel to .39 my beloved splash screen has stopped
working. I have followed guidelines in wiki that someone has very kindly
written. Reverting back to older kernel the splash screen works as
expected. I've tried this on 2 machines. I have seen somewhere that a
patch is added to kernel to help this. Is this included in .39?

I believe the issue maybe due to /sbin/fbcondecor_helper in initrd but
not really too sure. My debugging skills are lacking somewhat. 

Has anyone else experienced this and can anyone offer an alternative
method for producing splash.

I am currently using vesafb and splash_geninitramfs to create splash
screens?
