[gentoo-user] Framebuffer background image

I believe this is what is responsible for the background image on the different ttys. The /boot/initrd-1024x768 is the one responsible for the background image during boot time. The one thing that nags me is that about halfway through the boot process the Booting the system... Press F2 for verbose mode message appears in the center of the screen. The message is overwritten (looks ugly) by subsequent messages. This looks like a silent mode only partially working. Normally, specifying splash=verbose on the kernel line in grub.conf should solve the problem. The strange thing though is that this is supposed to be the default (splash=silent being the other possibility). My problem is the opposite: I do want silent mode and can't (the silenjpeg size does not fit into framebuffer problem, which I'm not sure how to solve without patching things).

TIA, Sebastian just a guess not sure if this will work... in /etc/conf.d/bootsplash.conf file change PROGRESS_BOOT_MESSAGE to blank HTH R'twick -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
