Bug#352108: reboot from kde and kdm splashy not displayed, slow reboot

[Luis M]

The problem could be that KDM holds the console/framebuffer until it
has died/killed by init. Which would not allow splashy's libdirectfb
to use the framebuffer.

Another problem might be at your /etc/rc6.d/K* scripts level. Make
sure that /etc/rc6.d/S01splashy-init and /etc/rc6.d/K01splashy-init
exist.

To troubleshoot this better you might want to join us at #splashy on
irc.freenode.net.

Bug#352108: reboot from kde and kdm splashy not displayed, slow reboot

[Emilio Scalise]

Package: splashy
Version: 0.1.7
Severity: important
Tags: experimental


I've upgraded splashy from 0.1.6svn4 to 0.1.7. It works well at boot,
but when I press reboot under kde the screen goes blank until the
machine reboots, or I can see only the progress bar on the bottom. I use
kdm.
My debian is mostly testing with some recompiled packages from unstable
(not related to splashy, like openoffice). I use kernel 2.6.15-4 from
debian sources and vesafb. I have a nvidia fx5200 card with nvidia proprietary 
drivers.
This is my kernel boot string:
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-4-k8susp2 root=/dev/sda2 ro lang=it vga=791
video=vesafb,ywrap quiet

If I try splashy test as root while in kde it works well.

I think it's a problem when kdm switches to text mode and splashy must
be started.
