Hi. I've been toying around fbsplash for some time now. I've been searching of a way to make the fbsplash's splash non-stop visible during boot.
The problem I've found is console service from kbd. Is it really needed to switch to every console in every /sbin/open and even do manual /sbin/switchto from time to time?? I'm attaching a patch witch throws out all the console switching stuff to make the silent splash stay on top as long as possible. After applying it gets much better. There's just the: run_cmd "Loading keyboard table" loadkeys $KEYTABLE < /dev/tty0 > /dev/tty0 stuff left, which changes to a verbose console. I'm not sure what the run_cmd "foo" bar < /dev/tty0 > /dev/tty0 is supposed to do? Why inputting from tty? Why forcing output to tty? After removing the < > stuff the splash stays almost perfectly on top all the time. Only for a blink of an eye it turns to some console (not sure what other command in /etc/init.d/console does that, but it's definitely this service). Oh - and with initng running mingetty changes to the just runned console, not sure bout normal init boot, because I can't find mingetty in rc-scripts. Please comment on the patch. I'd like to commit it in some time. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
