i'm having lots of trouble lately with usplash -
i guess it's due that it no longer uses vga16fb but vesafb
and as debian's one is not modular like ubuntu ones you need
to pass the vga boot arg.
Oh, I had no idea since I use self-built kernels
so sorry that i didn't make lots of progresss on that front.
No problem, here's something to cheer you up :)
I've taken the image posted at [0] and made a debian package based on it
which can create usplash themes of arbitrary sizes. This makes it dead
easy to construct a theme with a number of sizes (e.g. 1600x1200,
1024x768...etc).
Just change the first line in the Makefile to set the size(s) that
should be included and build.
It should have most things that a sane usplash theme package should,
like adding an alternative for /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-artwork.so.
I've tested it with and without verbose output and with several
different resolutions.
In the future, if any of the Debian art wizards would like to update the
theme without having to understand the usplash formats, all they have to
do is to download the sources, plop in a new SVG background and
(optionally) a new png progress image and recompile.
In order to use it, you need the latest upstream usplash sources along
with the attached patch.
I'm hoping that you can take over this artwork package and upload it to
the Debian archive as soon as a usplash with my tiny patch is in the
archive.
The source package can be downloaded from:
