If you are working on boot logo related stuff you may want to check out the work we are doing at http://www.arnor.net/linuxlogo
It's a kernel patch that adds the following features: - builds a ppm image into the kernel at compile time for the boot logo. Save any picture you like from the GIMP into <linux>/arch/$(YOURARCH)/linux_logo.ppm. Then compile, that image will be your bootlogo. - Set the default cursor blink rate for the framebuffer, can turn off blinking cursor or make cursor invisible, plus option to adjust blink rate through a /proc file. Before the end of the week, I'll finish my development version which adds: - Options to completely remove the boot logo, center it horizontally or vertically, and use just one boot logo on SMP machines. - Big cleanup of the boot logo related code in fbcon.c As soon as I get this patch complete, I will be submitting it to the fbcon mailing list. We hope to get it into 2.5.x kernels, and maybe into 2.4 as well if people like it. My co-developers are David Odin and Kyntola Tommi. Torrey Hoffman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
