Thank you for your reply. |

If i understood well F2 is managed from splash_util not splash_helper. |
| 19 |
Also, my config isn't really gentoo compliant (i don't use genkernel) |
| 20 |
and i would avoid the need of splash_util.static. I'm loading |
| 21 |
splash_helper from bzImage via initramfs archive to do the job. At this |
| 22 |
stage the alt+F1 key gives me the ability to switch to the verbose mode, |
| 23 |
have a look at the display to see what is going on (i'm kind of curious |
| 24 |
:) and switch back to the silent mode like i'm able with splash_util. |
| 25 |
The problem is, i cannot switch back to the silent mode until |
| 26 |
splash_util is loaded. I could say, the key Alt+F1 is not |
| 27 |
"bidirectional", in other words the display cannot go back to the |
| 28 |
precedent mode. |

Why should i need that ? In fact, i'm loading all the drivers as module |
| 31 |
and the process takes more time to be performed as it is if the drivers |
| 32 |
were compiled directly in the kernel or called from /sbin/rc script. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
The second issue is, i'm no more able to see the purple vertical bar at |
| 35 |
the right of the screen during the verbose mode. The screen only looks |
| 36 |
like as an usual tty. I'm quite sure, it was possible in the past. |
| 37 |
|

PS: I have tried splashutils 1.4 but it doesn't work for me. The screen |
| 39 |
stays black... until i press alt+f1 or F2. At first, i thought that |
| 40 |
could be the radeonfb driver, but it seems not. I didn't take too much |
| 41 |
time to look after it and i switched back to splashutils 1.3.1 for the |
| 42 |
moment. |
