Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
First of all might need to say that I'm not myself a |
4 |
gentoo user. |
5 |
|
6 |
I've just been trying to implement |
7 |
fbsplash/splash-utils within my distro, which is a |
8 |
custom lfs. |
9 |
|
10 |
I've compiled last version of splash-utils with |
11 |
mng-support, against klc-1.2. The kernel I'm using is |
12 |
2.6.14 (patched as well against vsa-tng). |
13 |
|
14 |
I've tried without success make all of this run |
15 |
properly, but I find the following problems, maybe |
16 |
anyone can bring some light on this: |
17 |
|
18 |
I can't see any text as specified on the config file |
19 |
when I boot form a cpio (splash_geninitramfs) image. |
20 |
|
21 |
I've been trying activating either vesafb and |
22 |
vesa-tng, toghether with different options on the |
23 |
command-line, such as video=.....,tty:[number], plus |
24 |
different combinations of console=tty[number], and |
25 |
CONSOLE=/dev/tty[number], with no success at all. |
26 |
|
27 |
The thing is, when I try locally, this works. I mean |
28 |
if I start splash_util in daemon mode, set the silent |
29 |
tty to it's proper number (usually /dev/tty8), the |
30 |
text labels specified on the my cfg file are rendered, |
31 |
not so when I generate a cpio image with |
32 |
splash_geninitramfs, and boot it. |
33 |
|
34 |
I can also see icons in *local-mode*, better said, |
35 |
start and stop services, which I couldn't try yet |
36 |
within a cpio image. |
37 |
|
38 |
Another question I've got is, how is mng-support |
39 |
used?, I've been looking at splash-utils' source code, |
40 |
and can guess a anim option whithin the cfg file could |
41 |
be something like this: |
42 |
|
43 |
anim [silent|verbose] [once|loop] path_to_file x y |
44 |
|
45 |
Although for sure the're something short or not |
46 |
correct at all, I'm just talking from memory. |
47 |
|
48 |
Could anyone tell something about? I'll really |
49 |
appreciate it. |
50 |
|
51 |
I've been hardly googling for this, but it seems like |
52 |
between the original bootsplash, different versions |
53 |
and specs form spock through out |
54 |
fbsplash/gensplash/splash-utils development, plus my |
55 |
basic knowledge about programming, turns available |
56 |
documentation into a complete mess. |
57 |
|

King Regards, |
