Indeed. splash_util listens for input events, but splash_helper does |
| 5 |
not. The only reason that splash_helper appears to respond to Alt+F1 is |
| 6 |
that that particular keypress is handled by the kernel as "change to |
| 7 |
terminal 1". If you could find a way to change back to terminal 16 |
| 8 |
(which is where splash_helper draws its pretty graphics), you'd be away. |

Maybe it's possible to use (e.g.) terminal 8 instead, in which case you |
| 10 |
could use Alt+F8. |

I may be wrong, but I think splash_util is required for drawing the |
| 17 |
progress bar -- I don't think splash_helper can do that. |

Probably needs some extra testing with baselayout-1.x. This release was |
| 26 |
primarily for the baselayout-2 splash plugin, which does work fine on |
| 27 |
baselayout-2 (entering portage soon). |
