Re: [PATCH] fbdev logo (fwd)
Ditto - I'd like at least an option of the "incorrect" logo. I can (sorta) see not having it as the default. But perhaps under the 'experimental drivers' tag, have an option of "Politically incorrect framebuffer logo". (If there isn't a huge outcry against it, I may work up a patch - been meaning to get into kernel stuff, and this seems relatively harmless.)

No. End of discussion.

P.S. Personally I do prefer vodka too. Can we get some sponsoring from Absolut
please? :-)

Subject: [PATCH] fbdev logo
Hi Linus,
This patch fixes a few bugs in the penguin logo code of the fbdev (frame buffer
device) subsystem:
- Technical fixes:
o The colors of the 16-color penguin logo are wrong. The logo looks like
a psychedelic penguin holding a glass of beer (or LSD?). This is caused
by a bug fix in the console subsystem that no longer allows us to use
an old color palette hack. This problem is ca. 9 months old!
Solution: replace the logo by a new one that uses colors from the
standard console palette only.
o Remove an obsolete #include.
o Remove an obsolete logo file in drivers/char/sgi/ (it was removed from
the Linux/MIPS CVS tree some months ago).
o Use __HAVE_ARCH_LINUX_LOGO* defines to determine logo inclusion in the
include files.
- Political fixes:
o There were still some penguins left carrying a glass of beer or wine.
This problem is about 2 years old!
- Aesthetical fixes:
o Upgrade the logos to an anti-aliased variant with pleasant halo-effect.
Some of these fixes are already in Alan's tree. I'll make sure he gets a copy
of the patch relative to his tree, and will post this message to linux-kernel
(with a link to the patch).
You can find a table showing the old and new logos at my web page:

Thanks for applying this patch!
