Enabling splash in the kernel causes text to start a 1/3 of the way over on the
screen and wraps around (after decompressing kernel). Hardly legible and no
splash image to be seen, nvidia module will not load (no screens found error)
and editing files is difficult due to this shifted display effect. I'd really
like to get it working at my native resolution of [EMAIL PROTECTED] 

The longer story.

Recently compiled 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 with FB kernel options shown below. I've
downloaded gentoo, livecd-2005.1 and emergence splash themes. Ran 
`splash_geninitramfs -v -g /boot/fbsplash-gentoo-1280x1024 -r 1280x1024 gentoo`

added these lines to grub:
"kernel /kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r6-wfb quiet root=/dev/hda7
video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,[EMAIL PROTECTED] splash=verbose,theme:gentoo
CONSOLE=/dev/tty1"
"initrd /boot/fbsplash-gentoo-1280x1024"

hp pavilion zd7620us, nvidia 7667 drivers on a geforce fx go 5700 running
1680x1050, i've tried using 1680x1050 with no luck as well as 1600x1200.
