Just a shot in the dark are you using any kind of tv-out? I had this problem with tv-out. I specified a resolution of 1280x1024. When I connect my tv to my box the maximal resolution possible is 1024x768 because the tv-encoder does not offer higher resolutions. So instead of switching to the next greatest resolution of 1024x768 the uvesafb driver switches to smallest resolution of 640x480. This resolution is not available in the emergence theme thus the splash fails! If you have a problem like this there are existing patches whto the kernel which are fixing this issue! What does "cat /sys/devices/platform/uvesafb.0/vbe_modes" say? Regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
